[RESOLVED] replace question

[Adamthenewbie]

If I have a text something like this:

This is just {a test sentence} to explain my problem, hopefully {if makes sense}.

I want to somehow replace anything inside the { } with blanks (including removing the {})

So the output result would be

This is just to explain my problem, hopefully.

Is there an easy way to do this?

Try this:

<?php
	$str = "This is just {a test sentence} to explain my problem, hopefully {if makes sense}.";
	echo preg_replace("/\{([0-9a-zA-Z ,\.;:_-]*)\}/","",$str);
?>

Thanks. That seemed to work nicely.
