regex string followed by a number php string replace

Question

so im not too great with regex and i am trying to search a string for "&option=" plus a number [0-100] so far i have this :

$link = str_replace("^&option[0-9]"," ",$actual_link);

Whatever its $ or & (confused by your question), use preg_replace() for your regex replace.

$link = preg_replace("/[&$]option=(?:100|[0-9]|[1-9][0-9])\b/"," ",$actual_link);

And I don't think you need that ^ for the anchoring!

@andrewhutchings it doesn't matter. It handles both. If you need to remove $, just erase from there! – Sabuj Hassan 20 hours ago
