vestaxpdx Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 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); Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/264109-need-help-with-a-simple-regular-expression-and-preg_match/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManiacDan Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Regular expressions are an entirely different language. It's as confusing as learning python.
