Hi There,
I am struggling too make this code work. The goal is to get rid of any of the values in array one or two. The issue I am having is array 2 is taking out parts of peoples names. The second array should only be counted if the entry is a full word.
Example1 John Doe et should = John Doe
Example2 John Doet et should = John Doet
Thank you for the help ahead of time. I am not great at PHP.
foo(); function foo() {
$text = [(Variable) parserName];
$nothing="";
$textArr = array("et al", "(Heirs, etc.)", "Guardian of", "also known as","et al sr", "et al jr");
$textArr2 = array("et", "etc", "ect","(Heirs, etc.", "(Heirs,",".", ",","Trustee", "A/K/A", "aka");
$firstArrParse= str_replace($textArr1, $nothing, $text);
$string = preg_replace('/\b$textArr2\b/', $nothing, $firstArrParse);
return trim($string);
