You should use str_replace:

$newString = str_replace('...', '', $string);

Using regexes for such simple tasks is just overkill and will hurt performance:

Avoid regexes in favor of str_replace() and strstr(). Don’t use regexes unless you really need them. The string functions are much faster.

Also, for simple $strings, you can use

$new_string = str_replace('find','replace_with',$old_string);

To remove '...' using str_replace, simply:

$new_string = str_replace('...','',$old_string);

$new_str = preg_replace('/\.{3,}/', '' , $str);

$str is the original string
