Example:

/m/NEEDED/

I would like to strip everything except “NEEDED”.

Any help would be great, Thanks!

$str = "/m/NEEDED/";
$newStr = preg_replace("~(/m/|/)~", "", $str);

OR

$str = "/m/NEEDED/";
$newStr = preg_replace("|/(.*?)/(.*?)/|", "$2", $str);

OR

$str = "/m/NEEDED/";
$newStr = str_replace(array('/', 'm'), "", $str);
