title: Laravel 5: Replace string in query results (Eloquent ORM)
body: <p>Is it possible to return all columns from a table, but if a string (value) contains a specific word, remove that word?</p>
  
  <p>For example, I have a table like this:</p>
  
  <pre>
   -------------------------------------------------
  | id | article_desc     | article_link   | active |
  |----|------------------|----------------|--------|
  | 1  | Hello, world!    | http://test.co |    0   |
  | 2  | ReplaceWord Test | http://null.org|    1   |
   -------------------------------------------------
  </pre>
  
  <p>"<strong>ReplaceWord</strong>" should be replaced to "" (nothing). So article_desc of ID 2 should return "<strong>Test</strong>".</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way to do this in Laravel (Eloquent) without using a foreach or something? Is there any built-in function?</p>
  
  <p>This is my controller where I am getting this data.</p>
  
  <p><code>return Article::where('active', 1)-&gt;orderBy('create_date', 'desc')-&gt;get();</code></p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
