[SOLVED] Editing a variable sent by external program (no idea how 2)

[chris_2001]

Ok well I have a program sending me an array of data, which i then change into variables like so:

 

$level = $status['7'];

 

that works fine and is very basic, but the program sends the data as

 

Level: 53

 

I want to change the variable so it is just 57 not Level: 57 and I have no idea how to do that (changing the program is not an option).

 

thanks in advance

a simple option:

$level = str_replace('Level: ', '', $status['7']);

very basic though. You might be better of using preg_replace if the part before the number is sometimes different to 'Level: '.
