php - Find and replace two types of matches in a string using preg_replace

Question

I'm trying to replace dashes and the '.php' extension on a string, for example:

Original String:

my-awesome-link.php

Resulting String:

My Awesome Link

Any help greatly appreciated!

No need for preg_replace. Just make str_replace(['-', '.php'], [' ', ''], $text) — Juris Malinens

You can use str_replace to get rid of both '-' and '.php', then UCWords to go from 'my awesome link' to 'My Awesome Link'.

I got this far: $pageName = str_replace( "-", ' ', ucwords($getPageName[1]) ); How to I str_replace the '.php' value also?

The full solution would be this:

$pageName = ucwords(str_replace(['-','.php'],[' ',''], $getPageName[1]));
