Need help with a simple Regular Expression and preg_match

[vestaxpdx]

Hi,

 

I have this string

 

$my_string = "AND country='United Kingdom' OR country='France' OR country='Spain'";

 

I simply want to return the counties, so grab everything inside country=' ... '

 

I just cant figure out the reg expression. Sorry if this is mega easy. I would really appreciate some help.

 

My code so far is:

 

$my_string = "AND country='United Kingdom' OR country='France' OR country='Spain'";
$pattern = "";
preg_match($pattern, $my_string, $matches);
print_r($matches);

$my_string = "AND country='United Kingdom' OR country='France' OR country='Spain'";
preg_match_all("/country\s*=\s*'([^']+)'/", $my_string, $foo);
$countries = $foo[1];
print_r($countries);

Regular expressions are an entirely different language.  It's as confusing as learning python.
