在普通字符之间匹配PHP中的唯一字符串

Question

I'm trying to do some string matching in PHP. I have the following url string in a variable:

phones/gift.nintendo-3ds/handset.blackberry-9790.html

I want remove the /gift.nintendo-3ds from the above, but the gift will always be different.

Any ideas? I want the url variable to look like this after each call different gifts:

phones/handset.blackberry-9790.html

Thanks

Try with:

$input  = 'phones/gift.nintendo-3ds/handset.blackberry-9790.html';
$output = preg_replace('(gift\.[^/]*\/)', '', $input);
