Delete particular word from string

I'm extracting twitter user's profile image through JSON. For this my code is:

$x->profile_image_url

that returns the url of the profile image. The format of the url may be "..xyz_normal.jpg" or "..xyz_normal.png" or "..xyz_normal.jpeg" or "..xyz_normal.gif" etc.

Now I want to delete the "_normal" part from every url that I receive. How can I achieve this in php? I'm tired of trying it. Please help.

Solution

  • Php str_replace.

    str_replace('_normal', '', $var)

    What this does is to replace '_normal' with '' (nothing) in the variable $var. Or take a look at preg_replace if you need the power of regular expressions.
