Combining multiple preg_replaces ..?

[DamienRoche]

Hi. I am just wondering if I can combine multiple preg_replaces.

 

For example:

 

<?php

$str = "this is a string 123 ABC";
$var = "this is a";

$newstr = preg_replace("#[A-Z]#", "", $str);
$newstr = preg_replace("#$var#", "", $str);

?>

 

 

Is there a way to combine the $var and the character set?

 

Thanks.

$str = "this is a string 123 ABC";
$var = "this is a";

$find = array("#[A-Z]#","#$var#");
$replace = array("","");

$newstr = preg_replace($find,$replace, $str);
