this should be easy

[scs]

I have a string. Which has # and letters. Its a base64 encoding with a string in the middle. for instance.

9hf9g8dfstring0348kjnf98g4

I kno the middle string I set. But the two out side strings are always different. I've been trying to get them in two there own variables. I've been able to get the first half with (.*?) but it doesnt work for the second half.
im using preg_match btw

Im a noobie when it comes to regular expressions. Havent had to use them that much. Still trying to get the hang of it.

Does anyone kno about this. Seems pretty easy. I just cant figure it out
thnx in advance

Try this:
[code]$string = '9hf9g8dfstring0348kjnf98g4';

preg_match('/([a-z0-9]+)string([a-z0-9]+)/i', $string, $match);

print_r($match);
[/code]
The two sides of the string will be in $match[1] and $match[2] respectively.
