deleting a word starting with a specific letter/character php

Question

here is a simple example:

$correction = \"game\";
$text =\"Hello this is an example of a $word that starts with a $dollar sign\";
$text = str_replace(\"\\$word\"         


        

Answer 1

Something like so:

preg_replace("/(\w*)$([a-z]+)/i", "$1$correction", $text);

Note: I haven't tried it so my regex may be slightly flawed.
