Preg_replace in following string


I want to replace content from below string,

I want to replace line The part has been repaired to upto end p tag.

$text = "<p>701082 Range Control Board from Dacor is a manufacturer approved part. The part has been repaired to Dacor's specifications resulting in the highest performance with superior quality</p>";

preg_replace('/The part has been repaired to.*?<\/p>/U', '</p>', $text);

print_r($text);

I tried above preg_replace function but its not working as expected.


Solution

  • The preg_replace function returns the value of the string after the pattern has been applied to it. Assign a the result to a variable and print_r the variable.

    $text = "<p>701082 Range Control Board from Dacor is a manufacturer approved part. The part has been repaired to Dacor's specifications resulting in the highest performance with superior quality</p>";
    
    $result  = preg_replace('/The part has been repaired to.*?<\/p>/U', '</p>', $text);
    
    print_r($result);
