Remove Text Between Parenthesis

Hi, I'm just wondering how I could remove the text between a set of parentheses and the parentheses themselves in php.

Example :

ABC (Test1)

I would like it to delete (Test1) and only leave ABC

Thanks

 

You could simply use something like:

<?php
$blah = "ABC (Test1)"; 
echo substr($blah, 0, strrpos($blah, "("));
?>

Code (markup):

 

<?php

$str = 'abc (ABC not happy :( )';
$str = preg_replace('#\([^\)]*\)#', '', $str);
echo "$str\n";

?>

Code (markup):

 

<?php

$text = 'abc (ABC)';
//this will remove text within brackets.
$text = preg_replace('#\([a-z0-9]*\)#i', '', $text);
print $text;

?>

PHP:

or if you'd prefer to replace more precisely, ie. an actual word.

<?php

$text = 'abc (ABC)';
$text = str_replace("(ABC)", "", $text);
print $text;
?>

PHP:

 

<?php
$string = "ABC (Test1)";
$string = preg_replace("/\((.*?)\)/", "", $string); // will remove anything between brackets
echo $string; // prints ABC
?>

PHP:

 

The reason i added [a-z] was because:

 

(Hello I Own 2 cars) <= That counts a text too

 

True, post edited to also allow numbers.

 

Thanks guys
