on one place I have string "something (something_2)" I have to take out of the string everything in brackets and brackets as well. probably I will need to use Regular Expression Functions but I'm really bad with them :)
$string = "something (something_2)"; $pattern = "/\(.*\)/"; $replacement = ""; echo preg_replace($pattern, $replacement, $string);
Just note that if there are two "bracketed" patterns in a string, this will have issues. It may or may not be an issue for you, though, depending up on your data.
As an alternative:
$string = "something (something_2) something (something_4)"; $pattern = '/\([^)]\)/'; //or $pattern = '/\(.*\)/U'; $replacement = ''; echo preg_replace($pattern, $replacement, $string);
Also, if there could be line breaks within the "bracketed" text, you'll need extra modifiers... it all just depends upon your data.
