How to remove some character from string using PHP

Question

I need to remove some character from string search by value using PHP. I am explaining my code below.

Current Data

$datArr = array(
    array(
        "name" => "Ram",
        "id" => 1,
        "date" => "12/04/2017 05:31:57 AM"
    ),
    array(
        "name" => "Rahim",
        "id" => 5,
        "date" => "12/03/2017 12:31:57 PM"
    ),
    array(
        "name" => "Raj",
        "id" => 4,
        "date" => "12/04/2017 05:31:57 PM"
    )
);

Expected Output

$datArr = array(
    array(
        "name" => "Ram",
        "id" => 1,
        "date" => "12/04/2017 05:31:57"
    ),
    array(
        "name" => "Rahim",
        "id" => 5,
        "date" => "12/03/2017 12:31:57"
    ),
    array(
        "name" => "Raj",
        "id" => 4,
        "date" => "12/04/2017 05:31:57"
    )
);

From the above array there is a date field value and I need to remove the AM/PM from all date using PHP.

Answer 1

Use rtrim to remove the tailing chars like this,

$datArr = array_map(function($v){
    $v['date'] = rtrim($v['date'], " APMapm");
    return $v;
}, $datArr);
