How to remove text to text from string in php?

Question

I have this string :

$body = '<a href="/title/tt2034800/?ref_=inth_ov_tt"> The Great Wall</a>';

And i want to remove :

?ref_=inth_ov_tt

From $body .

I test this code and didn't work :

$body = preg_replace('#ref_=(.*?)"#is', '', $body);

The regex works fine for me. Just add the ? to remove exactly what you want to remove. — Rizier123

Change your regex pattern to the following:

$body = '<a href="/title/tt2034800/?ref_=inth_ov_tt"> The Great Wall</a>';
$body = preg_replace('#\?ref_=([^"]+)(?=")#i', '', $body);

print_r($body);

The output(as source code):

<a href="/title/tt2034800/"> The Great Wall</a>
