Question

I have a string with a different variety of strings of different lengths

Example:

/my-big-property/Residential/Sections-for-sale 

/my-big-property/Residential/for-sale 

I am wanting to only remove /my-big-property/ but because substr does not seem to work what other options do I have?

Answer 1

Can you explain further by substr doesn’t work? This seems like an awfully simple problem.

<?php
$a = "/my-big-property/Residential/Sections-for-sale";
$b = substr($a, 17);
echo $b;

If the initial string between the first / and second / is variable, then regex such as this would suffice:

<?php
$a = "/my-big-property/Residential/Sections-for-sale";
preg_match("/\/\S+?\/(.*)/", $a, $matches);
print_r($matches);

This would output:

Array
(
    [0] => /my-big-property/Residential/Sections-for-sale
    [1] => Residential/Sections-for-sale
)
