Christian F. Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 For this you'll need to use RegExps, or at least if the number can appear with anything other than just spaces on either side. The RegExp variant: $FGuide = preg_replace ('/\\b16(?![:\\d])/', '', $FGuide); That'll remove any number 16 which is not followed by a semi colon or another digit.
