How to remove set off string in PHP

Question

I have this string variable in my PHP code: I am getting this value from DB.

$includes = "~ All taxes<br/>~ Complimentary Buffet Breakfast,<br/>~ Complimentary Wi-Fi<br/>~ Complimentary Fruit Basket only for Suite Room<br/><br/>Facilities and Services:<br/>~ 24Hrs Room Service<br/>~ Lounge<br/>~ Direct Dialing STD and ISD facilities <br/>Kindly Note:<br/>Before 72Hrs Cancellation full refund";

How to remove this sentence ('Kindly Note: Before 72Hrs Cancellation full refund') from the string.

I have to remove the text which come after this text('Kindly Note:') from the given string How to do that.

Some time I get different text after this text('Kindly Note: We dont allow 24hrs checkin') So I want to remove text whatever comes after this text('Kindly Note:');

Text looks static... Why don't you just remove it right there? — Darren, Dec 14 '15 at 07:02

Hey @MyWay I want to remove this sentence (Kindly Note:
Before 72Hrs Cancellation full refund) from the string. — Suresh Pattu, Dec 14 '15 at 07:04
if this is a static content, you can just change the string. Else you should know the algorithm of how this string is created. — murrometz, Dec 14 '15 at 07:05
[str_replace](http://php.net/manual/en/function.str-replace.php) should be what you need. — NSNoob, Dec 14 '15 at 07:06
@MyWay this string(Kindly Note:
Before 72Hrs Cancellation full refund) come always at the end of the string. — Suresh Pattu, Dec 14 '15 at 07:06

use chop()

echo chop($includes,'Before 72Hrs Cancellation full refund');

or

echo chop($includes,'Kindly Note:<br/>Before 72Hrs Cancellation full refund');

Edit 1

use

echo substr($includes, 0, strpos($includes, "Kindly Note:"));

Since I love exploding things...try this logic, will remove anything beyond the "Kindly Note:" part:

$includes = "~ All taxes<br/>~ Complimentary Buffet Breakfast,<br/>~ Complimentary Wi-Fi<br/>~ Complimentary Fruit Basket only for Suite Room<br/><br/>Facilities and Services:<br/>~ 24Hrs Room Service<br/>~ Lounge<br/>~ Direct Dialing STD and ISD facilities <br/>Kindly Note:<br/>Before 72Hrs Cancellation full refund";
$arr_includes = explode('Kindly Note:', $includes);
$include = $arr_includes[0];

output:

~ All taxes
~ Complimentary Buffet Breakfast,
~ Complimentary Wi-Fi
~ Complimentary Fruit Basket only for Suite Room

Facilities and Services:
~ 24Hrs Room Service
~ Lounge
~ Direct Dialing STD and ISD facilities

And before run this logic it will be better if you check 'Kindly Note:' is there in the string or not. – Partha Sarathi Ghosh Dec 14 '15 at 07:14

Use str_replace simply.

str_replace('Kindly Note:<br/>Before 72Hrs Cancellation full refund', '', $includes);

Simple:

 if ($dbText === 'your text') {
     $dbText = 'your replacement text';
 }

or change the text in the database itself. If you need something else, please elaborate on your requirements. Things like string replacement or regular expression replacement come to mind for more generic problems.

Assume "Kindly Note:" exists in the string and you want to remove anything after the "Kindly Note:"

echo strstr($includes, "Kindly Note:", true);
