What part are you having trouble with?

 

(You posted in PHP Math Help, would you like me to move it?)

If you don't have too much data yet, it would be best to restructure your database to store it in a more friendly way - this will aid the retreival of data no end!

 

Otherwise you are into crazy uneccessary regex territory:

 

ipreg_match_all ("/".(\\[) .'.*?' .(,)   ."/is", $yourCrazyString, $m))
echo '<pre>';
print_r($m);
echo '</pre>';
