Getting 2 values from 2 lines

[Joeker]

I have a page's content which is formatted as follows:

 

Name: Joe Blow

Job: Construction Worker

 

Hello my name is joe and I work in construction.

 

I want to get the name and the job in its own variables.

 

Here is my code so far, which does not work 100%:

 

<?php
    $matches1 = array();    
    $pos = strpos($content,"\n");
    $name = substr($content, 0, $pos);
    preg_match('$Name: ([a-z ]+)$i', $name, $matches1);
    $name = $matches1[1];
    
    $matches2 = array();  
    $second = substr($content, $pos);
    $pos2 = strpos($second,"\n");
    $job = substr($second, 0, $pos2);
    preg_match('$Job: ([a-z ]+)$i', $job, $matches2);
    $job = $matches2[1];
?>

 

Anyone help?

This will not find uppercase characters. You can either convert the string to lowercase or adjust the regex:

 

([A-Za-z ]+)

 

You may also need to include extra characters as names may appear like John O'Reilly

Quotes are stripped, and as for the case sensitivity: thats what the $i is for.
