str_replace 1

[bccamp]

I'm trying to remove text between '( )' using str_replace, preg_replace, or anything that will work, but I don't know how to code for 'everything in the middle'. ex.

Hello World (stuff in here)

I want to remove '(stuff in here)' including parenths. I've looked at the man pages, but either I'm stupid....or I'm stupid b/c I don't understand process.

something like

<?
$text = "Hello World (I am in brackets)";
$pattern = '/(\(.*?\))/i';
$replace = '';
$newtext = preg_replace($pattern, $replace, $text);
echo $newtext;
?>
