[FIXED] How to erase a string and what comes after in PHP?

Issue

i'm trying to get rid of a few character within a string:

"V.I.E Responsable Projets Marque Propre (H/F) – Roumanie (Bucarest) – 12 mois renouvelables."

I'd like to erase everything after (H/F) or (h/f) or H/F or F/H or f/h etc ...

I tried this but not working:

$offer = preg_replace(array('/ F\/\H.*/','/ (F\/\H).*/','/ H\/\F.*/','/ (H\/\F).*/'), '', $offer);

Any idea ? Thanks a lot from France !

Solution

Find the pattern \s*\(?(?:h/f|f/h)\)?.*$ and then replace with empty string:

$input = "V.I.E Responsable Projets Marque Propre (H/F) – Roumanie (Bucarest) – 12 mois renouvelables.";
$output = preg_replace("/\s*\(?(?:h\/f|f\/h)\)?.*$/i", "", $input);
echo $input . "\n" . $output;

This prints:

V.I.E Responsable Projets Marque Propre (H/F) – Roumanie (Bucarest) – 12 mois renouvelables.
V.I.E Responsable Projets Marque Propre
