[SOLVED] Find value between square brackets

[papaface]

Hello,

 

I am trying to find the value of the text between square brackets in my string

 

$str = "hell my name is [andrew]";
$find = preg_split("\[(*])\]", $str, null, 1);
$name = trim($find[1]);

 

However this is not working :'(

 

Anyone got any ideas?

Hope this works out for you; took me a long time to figure that one out..

 

$str = "hell my name is [andrew]";

$keywords = preg_split("/[\[\]]/", $str);

print_r($keywords);
