PHP ARRAY - remove certain array value

Question

Is there any function or method to remove array value for example, i have an array like this:

Array ( [0] => (Some string value)51351 [1] => (Some string value)43822 ) 

So the question is, How do i get the value that is not in the "( )". and counting the value of array after remove "( Some string value )" to do some looping process?

Thank you!

<?php function digits_only($str){ return preg_replace("/\(.*\)/", "", $str); } $arr = array("(Some content)531", "(Another Content)613"); $digits_array = array_map("digits_only", $arr); var_dump($digits_array); echo array_sum($digits_array);
