String replacement

[Richardtagger]

Hey guys, posting this in newbie section cos really its a pretty simple basic thing. I need to replace a bracketted number with nothing so essentially remove it. like if i had the string "text text (6) text (3) text (112) text", and i performed the replace all the (number)s would disappear, the tihng is, it needs to be variable as the numbers could be anything... Is there some sort of wildcard thing with a % like (%) to represent any number? thanx

this is what i have so far..

$value = str_replace("(%)", '', "$text");

[man]preg_match[/man]('/(\d+)/', '', $text)

hmm it doesnt seem to work

i have

$f1 = $_POST['view'];
echo "$f1<br>";
$f1 = preg_match('/(\d+)/', '', $f1);
echo "$f1";

this outputs:

test folder (1)

...?
