regular expression to remove part of string

I am trying to instert an integer into a form. Users are asked to input there promo number which is in the format 12.2-9999. I only want to insert 9999 into the column in my database but I am getting -9999 in the columns. I am not sure if I should use preg_replace or something else here?

Just use explode(), like so:

list( , $promo) = explode( '-', '12.2-9999');

Now $promo will contain 9999.

The following regular expression will check for the last - and capture the digits to the end (which as per the example is 9999):

/-(\d+)$/
