Question

I need help to fix my regex, say if there is text like:

bla bla [bla1]something[/bla1] bla bla [bla2]something else[/bla2] bla bla bla

I want everything in bla1 and bla2 removed, including those tags. Can someone help me?

Thank you.

If all you need is just to remove tags, then try:

$str = 'bla bla [bla1]something[/bla1] bla bla [bla2]something else[/bla2] bla bla bla';

$result = preg_replace('~\[([^\]]+)\].*?\[/\\1\]~', '', $str);

var_dump($result);
