[SOLVED] whats the best way to extract a string from a string?

If you want it to be done in regex preg_match is the function to start with.

 

If you want some help, provide an example sentence and the word you want extracted.

 

The key is, what singles that word out. How can you match that word? Is there a certain characteristic that can be used to parse it?

 

Moving to Regex forum for you.

In addition to what premiso said, sometimes regex is not the best solution for the task at hand.

While you have not given any example (to which I invite you to view how to ask a regex question), sounds like you *might* be able to simply use str_replace instead. If it is multiple words, perhaps strtr might be in order...all depends on the example and circumstances.
