[SOLVED] Remove certain text from variable.

[maxudaskin]

How would I be able to remove the OOM from OOM0100 if $var1 = "OOM0100"; ?

<?php

$string = "OOM0100";

if(preg_match("/OOM/is",$string)){
$string = preg_replace("/OOM/is","",$string);
}

echo $string;

?>

 

0100

Don't use preg_match. I learned that the hard way. You don't need RegExp to do this.

 

str_replace("OOM","",$str);

that will remove only OOM not oOm or Oom or ooM or OOm, etc...

The OP didn't say he wanted to remove text like oOm, Oom, ooM or OOm. In codes, it would be very inconsistent to have letters like those and you have to use RegExp to match them.
