unknown value quick question

I need to remove (Year-Month-Day) from a string without knowing the values of (year-month-day).

so what do i do to tell it that those are unknown values.

 

Can I see an example of the string?

If formatted correctly and at the front of a string an easy way is:
In this format: xxxx-xx-xx = 10 characters.

$string = substr( $string, 11);

So:
$string = "2007-01-23 Filler Text";
$string = substr( $string, 11);
The Variable string would now be: " Filler Text".

That is just one method. There are others such as picking up on formated wild cards, exploding/imploding the data array.

This method will work where ever the date is:

$regex = "/[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2}/";
$string = "A date 1975-05-14 is in here somewhere...";
$new_string = "";
	
$new_string = preg_replace( $regex, '', $string );
	
echo $string . "<br /><br />";
echo $new_string;
