ereg_replace remove text that begins with ___ and ends with ___

[dallypost]

I have a block of text stored in a string that includes [keywords]some random text[/keywords]

 

I want to replace [keywords], [/keywords] and everything in between with "" (nothing)

 

I have been trying many versions of this:

 

$string=ereg_replace("regex expression", "", $string);

 

Nothing seems to work. I know that this is probably pretty basic but regular expressions just about kill me.

 

Thanks for your help

$string = preg_replace('~\[keywords\].*?\[/keywords\]~','',$string);
