In PHP string how to replace text to empty space from symbol to symbol

Question

In php I have a problem, in some string I need to remove from <! to first >

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE cXML SYSTEM "http://xml.cxml.org/schemas/cXML/1.2.014/cXML.dtd">
<cXML xml:lang="en-US"
 payloadID="0c30050@supplierorg.com"
 timestamp="2000-01-08T23:00:06-08:00">
    <Header>

recommend which is better to use, maybe some standard function or maybe some custom suggestion. Thank you for your help.

Instead of writting "hello there" and "nice to meet you", please show precisely how looks your data. — Casimir et Hippolyte, Aug 22 '19 at 15:10
ok, so the way is to use xml tools to remove the doctype, `preg_replace` isn't the way to go. — Casimir et Hippolyte, Aug 22 '19 at 15:15
no, because this is cxml format which have dtd rules in doctype tag, but I use jms serializer for deserializer object, but jms don't know how to use deserializer for cxml, only xml accepted and that's why I need remov this row with dtd rules — shuba.ivan, Aug 22 '19 at 15:21

I would say something along the lines of

$string = "hello there 
<!DOCTYPE cXML SYSTEM "http://xml.cxml.org/schemas/cXML/1.2.014/cXML.dtd">
nice to meet you
and others text";

$string = preg_replace( "/<!.*?>/", "", $string );

echo $string;
