how this make with PHP? str_replace + regular expression?

preg_replace('~&id=[0-9]+~', '', $str);

Use the appropriate function for this, not regular expressions since URL's aren't regular.

You should then split the query part, which can be done with regular expressions, but I'd like to split on & and then filter out the ID part.
