Removing Characters

[mcmuney]

How can I remove certain string from a statement. For example: A blagh blah blah blah blah. http://blah.com

 

Where I would want to remove everything from "http" and after. So the final statement would show as: A blagh blah blah blah blah.

Here is 2 easy examples of how to remove everything after a certain character

 

<?php
$string = "A blagh blah blah blah blah.  http://blah.com";
$removed = explode("http://", $string);
$removed = $removed[0];
echo $removed."<br />";

$removed2 = substr($string, 0, strpos("$string*", "http://"));
echo $removed2;
?>

$str = 'A blagh blah blah blah blah. http://blah.com';

$str = preg_replace('/http:\/\/.*?$/i', '', $str);

// $str = "A blagh blah blah blah blah. "

Yeah that's the best way scootstah, handles the case as well
