Please I have the flowing string :
$str = 'blabla-blabla - 12345, blobl-ooo - 54123, hihihi - 98745';
I want to get in an array blabla-blabla - 12345 and blobl-ooo - 54123 and hihihi - 98745
To do that I'm thinking to use REGEXP so I've tried :
preg_match_all("/\b[\p{L}'-]+|[a-z]+\b/u", $str, $all);
but this get only the string part and not the numbers.
Please any advice masters ?
PS : I can't use list and explode because I don't know the number of elements in my string.
For your regex, try:
preg_match_all('/([\w\-]+ \- \d+),?/u', $str, $all);
\w deals for all letters or digits, and the \d for all digits.
Otherwise, even if you do not know the size of your string, you can use explode:
$parts = explode(', ', $str);
foreach($parts as $part) {
// ...
}
I'm not sure why you can't use explode to split on commas. You don't need to know the number of elements to do that. However, a regex like this should work:
"/[\w\-]+ \- \d+/"
You can use preg_split function for it..
str = 'blabla-blabla - 12345, blobl-ooo - 54123, hihihi - 98745';
$result=preg_split('/,/',$str);
echo "<pre>";
print_r($result);
Output Array ( [0] => blabla-blabla - 12345 1 => blobl-ooo - 54123 2 => hihihi - 98745 )
