Question

I have a string, “Hello there I have a question”

I want to delete all one charactered words from this string. It must look like “Hello there have question”

I’ve done this:

$yt_tags = preg_replace('/[\w]{1}/','',$yt_tags);

But it deletes everything in the string.

Thanks for your help.

Use a word-boundary (\b):

preg_replace('/\b\w\b\s*/'...

I added in the \s* to ‘trim’ unneeded extra whitespace (word<space>a<space>word would otherwise become: word<space><space>word instead of word<space>word).
