preg_replace for an interval between / and "

[sultanos]

Hello , i have been searching google , looking for the answer to my problem, and found this forum, maybe you can help me.

 

I am trying to clean a string the value that i want to remove begins at a / and ends at a "

what i want is this :

"111/special-dominguez-2008"></form>

to become:

"111"></form>

 

i want the red text to disappear from  the string i am trying with this code with no luck

$tableBox_string2='"111/special-dominguez-2008"></form>';
$tableBox_string2=preg_replace ('\/(.*)\"/i','/',$tableBox_string2);
echo $tableBox_string2;

Any help will be welcome

$string = "111/special-dominguez-2008";
$expl = explode("/", $string);

echo $expl[0]; //will print '111'

preg_replace('#/[^"]*#', '', $tableBox_string2);

 

The [^"]* matches any character that is NOT a " and the * after it matches zero or more times.
