Is there a way to replace/remove *whole* words from a
phrase?  For example:

<?
  $exceptionsList = array( 'the', 'other', 'that', 'a' );
  $stringToParse = 'The other lady that laughed';

  if( count( $exceptionsList ) > 0 ) {
    foreach( $exceptionsList as $exceptionPhrase ) {
      $stringToParse = str_replace( $exceptionPhrase, '', trim(
$stringToParse ));

    }
    $retval = trim( $stringToParse );

  }
  echo 'Retval: ' . $retval . '<br>';
?>

results in "The or ldy lughed" and not "lady laughed".  Using
the other *_replace() functions give the same results.  So is
what I'm looking to do even possible?

thnx,
Chris
