Assuming you are doing just one string at a time:
?
$str = [i:abcdef];
#[i:bcdefg]
#[i:xyzab]
#[i:priftds]
$regex = /(\[i:)(\w+)(\])/i;
preg_match($regex, $str, $matches);
print $str;//original string
print substr($matches[2], 1, 3);//trimmed string
?

If the format is consistantly the same, try this:

$insidedata = substr($somedata,3,strlen($somedata)-4);
