Adding only things in { } to an array

[smc]

I would like to do something like this:

 

<?php

$str = "Hi my name is {jane} and his name is {jake}!";

//My mircale put-into-array-script

foreach( $myFunArray as $value ){

    $myVar = ucwords( $value );
    echo( $myVar );

}

//Returns JaneJake

 

Although I need that miracle array function to look at the string and just take out the values that are in the curley braces.

 

Thanks for any help you can offer!

Huh? Look into str_replace() or preg_replace(). Be more clear of what your replacing {jane} and {jake} with.

I don't want it to be replaced... I want to add into an array only the values in the brackets. In theory the script would go through the $str variable and add into an array only the variables within the curley brackets.

 

See the above script I posted, the array is outputting only those two values, jane and jake.

I'm moving topic to rexeg help area.

 

Here's an example of using preg_match_all():

 

<?php

$str = 'Hi my name is {jane} and his name is {jake}!';

if (preg_match_all('/\{(.*?)\}/si', $str, $matches)) {
print_r($matches[1]); // array of jane and jake
} else {
echo 'no matches found';
}

?>
