I want to remove these words from text: John Jack David I’ve written this

  • 0

I want to remove these words from text:

John Jack David

I’ve written this regex:

(John|Jack|David)

But it removes John (first match) and doesn’t match two other words.

Should I use a modifier? Which one?

    In PHP, you need to use preg_match_all() in order to match all occurrences.

    preg_match_all("/(John|Jack|David)/", $subject);
