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.
