How do i remove a word from a string in php?

I'm extracting twitter user's profile image through JSON. For this my code is:

$x->profile_image_url

that returns the url of the profile image. The format of the url may be "..xyz_normal.jpg" or "..xyz_normal.png" or "..xyz_normal.jpeg" or "..xyz_normal.gif" etc.

Now I want to delete the "_normal" part from every url that I receive. How can I achieve this in php? I'm tired of trying it. Please help.

Php str_replace.

str_replace['_normal', '', $var]

What this does is to replace '_normal' with '' [nothing] in the variable $var. Or take a look at preg_replace if you need the power of regular expressions.

The str_ireplace[] function does the same job but ignoring the case

like the following

output : Hello Peter!

The str_replace[] function replaces some characters with some other characters in a string.

try something like this:

$x->str_replace["_normal","",$x]

$s = 'Posted On jan 3rd By Some Dude';


echo strstr[$s, 'By', true];

This is to remove particular string from a string.

The result will be like this

 'Posted On jan 3rd'

Multi replace

$a = array['one','two','three'];
$var = "one_1 two_2 three_3";
str_replace[$a, '',$var];
