EX: 24 Season 1 Episode 3

I would like, that if it find the text Season that it removes it and everything after so it would just leave you with :

24

Thanks

1.If u need all the strings which occurs after certain word this will work

$str="24 Season 1 Episode 3"; echo strstr($str, 'Season');

2.If u need all the strings which occurs before certain word this will work

$str="24 Season 1 Episode 3";
$arr = explode("Season", $str, 2);
$first = $arr[0];
echo $first;

With PHP5.3. you can use

echo strstr('24 Season 1 Episode 3', 'Season', true); // outputs 24

See

and the comments on that page to see workarounds for PHP < 5.3

Can use String.replaceAll("Season.*", "");
