How can I use a reg开发者_运维知识库ular expression in the substr()
PHP function to get a substring matched by a pattern?
Edited:
example:
$name = 'hello [*kitty*],how good is today';
I want to get what is between [....] placeholder.
substr()
only matches whole strings. You are looking for preg_match()
.
Update:
$name = 'hello [*kitty*],how good is today';
preg_match( '/\[(.*?)\]/', $name, $match );
var_dump( $match );
You can find the name in $match[1]
. I suggest you read up on regular expressions to understand preg_match()
.
Try this:
$matches = array();
preg_match("/\[([^]]*)\]/", 'hello [*kitty*],how good is today', $matches);
print_r($matches);
Oops, fixed it now :)
