From John:
$new_number = preg_replace('/^'.$this->start_num.'([0-9]+)'.$this->end_num.'$/',
'\\1',$old _number);
The one that Mike gave didn't seem to do anything, John's will work if it can match the beginning and the end successfully. I should probably explain myself further.
Sometimes there won't be anything to replace at the front, and sometimes nothing at the end. So it'd still need to do the front and/or end wether or not they both exist.
Is there a way to tweak these to do that?
Should be:
$new_number =
preg_replace(
'/^('.$this->start_num.')?([0-9]+)('.$this->end_num.')?$/',
'\\2',
$old _number);-- ---John Holmes...
