how to exclude a piece of string using preg_replace() in php

I have this string generated by wordpress functions in php

D:\wamp\www\myProject/wp-content/uploads/2015/11

And I want to delete the part of

D:\wamp\www\myProject/

And only have as result using preg_replace()

uploads/2015/11

I know that this is a silly question but I'm new with wordpress and a little bit in php.

Cheers!

Use this regular expression:

$path = "D:\wamp\www\myProject/wp-content/uploads/2015/11";
$the_desired_part = preg_replace("/.+?\/(wp-content.+?)/", "", $path);
echo $the_desired_part;

You could use str_replace() for this.

$input = "D:\wamp\www\myProject/wp-content/uploads/2015/11";
$output = str_replace("D:\wamp\www\myProject/", "", $input);

str_replace(); syntax: http://php.net/manual/en/function.str-replace.php
