Regex remove string in text

Question

I need to remove

[PRODUCT ID=123]

from text

Some random dummy [PRODUCT ID=123] text just for example [PRODUCT ID=321]

Where ID (after the = sign) can be any number (integer).

I've tried with PHP

preg_match_all("|[[^]]+](.*)[]/[^]]+]|U", $text, $out);

but it doesn't work as I thought it will so I'm trying with regex but currently I'm lost and I need your help.

Thank you.

do you need to remove just bracketed PRODUCT ID text, or ANYTHING in [] pairs? — Marc B

preg_replace("/\[PRODUCT ID=(\d*)\]/", '', 'Some random dummy [PRODUCT ID=123] text just for example [PRODUCT ID=321]');

Or, if you want a generic version: \[(?:\w+\s\w+=\d+)\]

Try this :

$str = 'Some random dummy [PRODUCT ID=123]text just for example [PRODUCT ID=321]';
preg_replace('/\[PRODUCT ID=.*?\]/', '', $str);

Hope this helps :)

$a = ' ads [PRODUCT ID=123] [PRODUCT ID=4124124321] asd \ a sda s';
$a = preg_replace("~(\[PRODUCT ID=)([0-9]*)(\])~", "", $a);
echo $a;
// ads asd \ a sda s
