Removing the text inside brackets

[scvinodkumar]

hi,

 

I have content like this

 

"success adding the records in the river table by scvinodkumar today at 6.36 pm

by scvinodkumar

 

[[Category:Test]]"

 

Now, i want to remove the "[[Category:Test]]" from the above content.

 

Please tell me how to remove this?

Try this:

 

$text = "success adding the records in the river table by scvinodkumar today at 6.36 pm
by scvinodkumar

[[Category:Test]]";

preg_match("!^(\[\[.*?!\]\])$!s" , $text , $matches);

echo $matches[1];

dpacmittal, the OP wants to remove, not match.

 

Try this:

 

Example:

$str = '"success adding the records in the river table by scvinodkumar today at 6.36 pm
by scvinodkumar

[[Category:Test]]"';

$str = preg_replace('#\[{2}[^]]+\]{2}#', '', $str);
echo $str;

no need regex. simple split will do

 

$string = "success adding the records in the river table by scvinodkumar today at 6.36 pm
by scvinodkumar

[[Category:Test]]";

$s = explode("[[Category:Test]]",$string);
print $s[0];

Hmm.. I used regex under the assumption that [[Category:Test]] would be dynamic (in other words, the format would be [[ ..something : something.. ]], but I could be wrong.

Since it is a category name, I assume it IS dynamic and nrg_alpha is right.
