I'm looking to get an array of ID's from the following string.
[vc_gallery type="flexslider_fade" interval="3" images="3057,2141,234" onclick="link_image" custom_links_target="_self" img_size="large"]
Ideally, i'd like to look at this string and get an array of the INT values within images. e.g.
array("3057", "2141", "234");
find images value and explode it to receive array
$str = '[vc_gallery type="flexslider_fade" interval="3" images="3057,2141,234" onclick="link_image" custom_links_target="_self" img_size="large"]';
if (preg_match('/images\s*=\s*\"([^\"]+)\"/', $str, $m)) {
$res = explode(',', $m[1]);
print_r($res);
}
Another solution using explode
and strpos
functions:
$str = '[vc_gallery type="flexslider_fade" interval="3" images="3057,2141,234" onclick="link_image" custom_links_target="_self" img_size="large"]';
foreach (explode(" ", $str) as $v) {
if (strpos($v, "images=") === 0) {
$result = explode(",", explode('"', $v)[1]);
break; // avoids redundant iterations
}
}
print_r($result);
The output:
Array
(
[0] => 3057
[1] => 2141
[2] => 234
)
