Make the part after the closing ] optional.

preg_match("/\:\[(\S+)\](\:(\S*))?/",$transport,$matches

$matches[1] should be the IP and $matches[3] should be the port, if it
exists.

[PHP] pcre pattern match help

[Max Clark]

Hi-

I would like to do a pattern match against a string, sometimes this pattern
will include the full string, and sometimes it will not, if the pattern does
not include the second match I still want to get the first pattern match.

Below is my code, and the results I am looking for.

Thanks in advance,
Max

preg_match ("/\:\[(\S+)\]\:(\S*)/",$transport,$matches);
print_r ($matches);

$tranport = ":[127.0.0.l)";
print_r ($transport) -> Array ( )
** I want this to return "127.0.0.1"

$transport = "smtp:[64.70.36.4]:25";
print_r ($transport) -> Array ( [0] => :[64.70.36.4]:25 [1] => 64.70.36.4
[2] => 25 )
