str_replace wildcard

I have "random text bla bla bla andmore random text;"

and I want to remove everything from "andmore" and after.

I was hoping there was a way to wildcard in str_replace, so i could do something like

str_replace("andmore".wildcard.";" , "" , $string);

thanks to any help!

 

I am just wondering why are you not using explode() function (just explode white spaces) or get a simple regular expression for that
g'luck!

 

gah why didn't i think of that

thank you!

 

Removes at first instance of andmore.

<?php

$string = "random text bla bla bla andmore random text;";

$string = substr($string, 0, ($s = strpos($string, 'andmore'))!== false ? $s : strlen($string));

echo $string;

thanks, I just ended up doing

<?php
$string = "random text bla bla bla andmore random text;";

$stripped = explode("andmore",$string);

echo $stripped[0];
?>
