Question

I am trying to replace the string by following code

$find2 = array ('/is/', '/working/'); 
 $replace2 = array ('to', 'work');
 $data="During the day, Damien is working";
 echo  preg_replace ($find2, $replace2, $data);

output is

During the day, Damien to work

but i want the result to be

Damien to work

Answer 1

Code:

$data="During the day, Damien is working";
echo preg_replace("/.*,(.*)/i","$1",$data);

Output:

Damien is working

would work. It will remove “Anything, String” to “String”.Removing everything before “,” along with “,”.

For your code, You want the data array to replace the two things + you want a replacement as well along with it as i understand.
So,

Code:

$find2 = array ('/is/', '/working/',"/.*,(.*)/"); 
 $replace2 = array ('to', 'work',"$1");
 $data="During the day, Damien is working";
 echo  preg_replace ($find2, $replace2, $data);

Output:

Damien to work
