 Hi All,

 Need help in resolving the below problem-


 I would like to get the whole comma separated string into an array value-

 1. $postText = chapters 5, 6, 7, 8;
 OR
 2. $postText = chapters 5, 6;
 OR
 3. $postText = chapters 5, 6, 7;

 What i have done so far is-
 preg_match('/chapter[s]*[ ]*(\d+, \d+, \d+)/i', $postText, $matches);

 The above will exactly match the third value $postText = chapters 5, 6,
 7;

 By Above $matches will contain a value of : $matches[1] = '5, 6, 7';

 Now i need a SINGLE regular expression which can match first, second
 variable above or any number of comma separated string and IMPORTANTLY
 provide me that whole comma separated sting value (as above) in single array
 key element like below-

 $matches[1] = '5, 6, 7';
 OR
 $matches[1] = '5, 6';
 OR
 $matches[1] = '5, 6, 7, 8, 9';


 Also I have to use regular expression only as the flow of the code does not
 permit to use any other method to get comma separated string from the
 master/base string.

 Thanks,

 Gaurav Kumar






No problem.

If you are on Windows, then the RegexBuddy application from JGSoft is
pretty good. It allows you to build regex in a step by step way with a
full description of what the regex will do, along with testing and
code snippets. Also has a lot of examples to work from and a built in
support forum.

BTW. I'm not connected to JGSoft. Just a happy licensee.

Richard.

Not tested, but I think it should work:

preg_match_all('/(\d+),/', $postText, $matches);
