if it is a simple del then use str_replace...
however if there's a more complicated logic, then you will need an
ereg_replace or preg_replace... will be heavier but more capable..
I use it on certain 10.000 words articles. And I replace not a big chunk of
code but some few words in a big chunk.
The best way to do it is on preparation of text, like when you are about to
insert the article in the database, then if it is not a user to do you can
wait some time, right? However if someone comes to read your site and you
prepare the article for him replacing there thousands of things, then you
have to care of your processing time.
typically ereg()s are quite slow,....

Subject: [PHP] How do I do to update part of a string?
I have a big string. How can I do to find some text inside and modify that
text? I was thinking about ereg_replace(). But it is capable to handle big
chuncks of text? If yes, it will notbe too heavy for theserver? Any other
ideas?
Thank you,
Rom
