[PHP] Strip Numbers
Hey could someone help me out here I need to strip numbers from a passed variable ex. 3899007 all the numbers will have 990 (so that is the 4th, 5th sixth numbers... from the right...) I want to keep everything to the left of the two 9s... is there an easy way to do that Joe Harman http://www.HarmanMedia.com This `telephone' has too many shortcomings to be seriously considered as a means of communication.

RE: [PHP] Strip Numbers
You could use two substr()s or an ereg_replace() $result = substr($str, 0, 2) . substr($str, 5); or $result = ereg_replace(([0-9][0-9])990([0-9][0-9]), \\1\\2, $str); Both are not tested, but should work Martin -Original Message- From: Joe Harman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 30 July 2003 4:52 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] Strip Numbers Hey could someone help me out here I need to strip numbers from a passed variable ex. 3899007 all the numbers will have 990 (so that is the 4th, 5th sixth numbers... from the right...)
