[RESOLVED] Strip part of string

[zzz]

If I have

$str = 'asdasdasd asdasdasd asdasd (asdasd)';

How can I strip the part that's in parentheses at the end?

It depends on your exact requirements, but [man]preg_replace/man could come in handy.

use preg_match() and a regular expression.

preg_match('/\(.+\)/', $str, $matches);
print_r($matches);

Ought to do it.

Edit: Ahh, LL beat me to it, again. And makes a good point, as always - I assumed by strip you wanted to match it, but if you wanted to remove it, preg_replace would be a better option.

Brilliant. I was actually getting warmer but just could not get rid of the parenthesis...
