Is there a way to replace/remove *whole* words from a
phrase? For example:
<?
$exceptionsList = array( 'the', 'other', 'that', 'a' );
$stringToParse = 'The other lady that laughed';
if( count( $exceptionsList ) > 0 ) {
foreach( $exceptionsList as $exceptionPhrase ) {
$stringToParse = str_replace( $exceptionPhrase, '', trim(
$stringToParse ));
}
$retval = trim( $stringToParse );
}
echo 'Retval: ' . $retval . '<br>';
?>
results in "The or ldy lughed" and not "lady laughed". Using
the other *_replace() functions give the same results. So is
what I'm looking to do even possible?
thnx,
Chris
