Question

I’m wondering what is the quickest way to replace certain characters in a string with nothing. I now have the following:

$omschrijving = str_replace(")", "", str_replace("(", "", $line)));

Is there a better way to do this? This is only replacing the "(" and ")", but what if I want to do the same with more characters. Still learning the preg_ methods but it’s still a bit of mind blowing at the moment.

Here you go:

str_replace(array('a', 'b', 'c', 'd'), '', $sString);

From the manual:

The replacement value that replaces found search values. An
array may be used to designate multiple replacements.
