How can you remove a specific character, such as 'x', from a string in PHP?

To remove a specific character, such as 'x', from a string in PHP, you can use the str_replace() function. This function takes three parameters: the character you want to remove, an empty string (to replace it with nothing), and the original string. This will replace all occurrences of the specified character in the string with an empty string, effectively removing them. 

$string = "example string with x characters";
$char_to_remove = 'x';
$cleaned_string = str_replace($char_to_remove, '', $string);
echo $cleaned_string;
