[0032]

Digit count will not exceed than 4 by any chance. In the second brackets always containing letters eg:

[first name]

anyone have an idea how to do this?

Answer 1

You can use preg_replace() to implement regular expression syntax and try the following expression.

$str = preg_replace('/\[\d+]\[[a-z ]+]/i', '', $str);
