Question

I have a variable $text, with the value:

...
[one_fourth]
[quote autor="Someone"]
"This is a quote"
[/quote]
[/one_fourth]
...

I want to replace/delete everything between “[quote” and “[/quote]” including “[quote” and “[/quote]”. This is what I tried:

$text = preg_replace("/\[quote.*\[\/quote\]/", '', $text); 

But I had no success. How do I manage this?

Thank you,

dee

Answer 1

this works

$text = preg_replace("/\[quote.*\[\/quote\]/s", '', $text);

you have to tell php that the . has to match line breaks (parameter s after the closing /)
