Regex Wont Match

[ionik]

Heres my problem

 

I need to match this

 

Link : text

 

Description : text

 

as a array with the link => text and description => text as two separate arrays

 

I am using preg_match

 

like this

<?php
$string = 'Link : http://link.com Description : Some information Here!!';
preg_match('/Link : (.*?)/is', $string, $matches1);
print_r($matches1);
preg_match('/Description : (.*?)/is', $string, $matches2);
print_r($matches2);
?>

 

why isnt this working ?

 

the output of this is

 

Array
(
    [0] => Link : 
    [1] => 
)
Array
(
    [0] => Description : 
    [1] => 
)

try

<?php
$string = 'Link : http://link.com Description : Some information Here!!';
preg_match('/link : (?P<Link>[^ ]+) description : (?P<Description>.*)/i',$string, $match);
print_r($match);
?>

To clarify, the regex is matching. (.*?) is lazy and nothing follows it, thus, it is satisfied at matching nothing.

How about this one?

$string = 'Link : http://link.com Description : Some information Here!!';
preg_match('/Link : (.*?)\s.*/is', $string, $matches1);
print_r($matches1);
preg_match('/Description : (.*?)\s.*/is', $string, $matches2);
print_r($matches2);
