removing decimal numbers

[purencool]

Hi phpfreaks

 

I am trying to remove the first two numbers off a string. The string looks like 00-house or 23-water etc. I need to do a regex to remove them I have

this so far but it does not work.

 

$removed = preg_replace(array("/^\d[0-9]/", $folderItem);

 

Any help would be great.

if you always wish to remove the first three characters you should probably consider substr.

If the numbers are always 2 characters long:

 

$string = substr($string, 2);
