Question

i have a string like below,

 [Session #1: Tues May 31st - Fri June 10th (1-5:30PM)#1 only: 1pmADV] => 2
    [Session #1: Tues May 31st - Fri June 10th (1-5:30PM)#1 only: 2pmADV] => 1
    [Session #2: Tues June 14th - Fri June 24th (9-2:00PM)#1 only: 2pmADV] => 1
    [Session #1: Tues May 31st - Fri June 10th (1-5:30PM)#1 only: 1pmN/S+] => 1
    [Session #2: Tues June 14th - Fri June 24th (9-2:00PM)#1 only: 2pmN/S+] => 1
    [Session #2: Tues June 14th - Fri June 24th (9-2:00PM)#1 only: 3:30pmN/S+] => 1

i need remove the text after the string “pm” upto first occurance of “]”.

for example,

from
[Session #1: Tues May 31st - Fri June 10th (1-5:30PM)#1 only: 1pmADV] => 2
to
[Session #1: Tues May 31st - Fri June 10th (1-5:30PM)#1 only: 1pm] => 2

how can i do this?

Answer 1

$str = "[Session #1: Tues May 31st - Fri June 10th (1-5:30PM)#1 only: 1pmADV] => 2"
echo preg_replace('/(?<=pm)\S*?(?=])/is', '', $str);
