@NogDogNov 24.2010 — #It's not real clear to me what you actually want to change: is all that text in one string, or is it unserialized into an array or an object, or what? In any case, str_replace (or str_ireplace for case-insensitive matching) is probably all you need if there is nothing variable about the text you want to replace:
Can you preg_replace unserialized string?
Was wondering if you can preg_replace an unserialized string. My website serialized user input forms and I need to unserialize them. That’s no problem, but I need to replace part of the unserialized string. For example….unserializing may come out as this in a loop.
First Name: John
Last Name: Doe
E-mail: [email][email protected]
Telephone Number: 123-456-7890
If I needed to have the Telephone Number just come out as 123-456-7890, how would I remove the “Telephone Number: ” part of the string? Is it possible?

$text = str_replace('Telephone Number: ', '', $text);
