remove particular words from $string in php

Question

I have the following string:

$string = java-developer-jobs

I would like to remove - and jobs from $string, but I don't want to use str_replace multiple times.

actually you don't need to invoke `str_replace` multiple times in each individual characters. it can hold multiple replacements also, just use an array, its in the [manual](http://php.net/manual/en/function.str-replace.php) — Kevin, Nov 30 '16 at 06:21

Use array as :

$toReplace = array('-','jobs');
$with = array('','');
$string = 'java-developer-jobs';

str_replace($toReplace,$with,$string);

You don't need an array for $with – Nov 30 '16 at 06:27
I now that but that's for the case when you need to replace with something else – Rahul Nov 30 '16 at 06:28
So not *this* case – Nov 30 '16 at 06:30

You can use regex for this.Try something like this:

$string = "java-developer-jobs";
$sentence = preg_replace('/\-|jobs/', ' ', $string);
echo $sentence;

Output: java developer
