regex :(

[aebstract]

$article = eregi_replace("^([[(a-zA-Z0-9.)]]{1,})", "", $article);

 

Trying to get the hang of regex, but I'm failing atm. Need to remove everything from $article that matches  [[anythinggoeshere.anyextension]]  this pattern. The above code doesn't do anything

I'm not following what you are trying to achieve with "[[anythinggoeshere.anyextension]]". Are you wanting to replace any text that appears within double brackets that has a period in it? Try providing some real exampes of the search text and what, exactly, you want replaced.
