However, if you meant "commas", then I, like the others, don't see one. On a different note, with all kidding aside now, if you want to strip everything in parentheses, inclusively, then you can use this code: <? $string[] = "this is how we do (50 cents feat. the game)"; $string[] = "give it to me (nelly feat timerland)"; $string[] = "let me hold you (bow wow feat omarion)"; foreach($string as $p => $v) { $out = preg_replace('/\(.*\)/',null,$v); echo $out."\n"; } ?> -- Daniel P.
