sandozlabz Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Im trying to make a filter to parse news posts and want to parse bbcode type things example: [youtube:large:8nTFjVm9sTQ:video title] (format is Size, Video Code, Title) $pattern = "/\[youtube\.*?)\.*?)\.*?)\]/is" I can get preg_match to find this just fine, however "video title" is optional and if it is not included then it stops working. What should I change so that it will find matching strings with or without video title?
