I have a PHP variable ($content
) where I need to find a certain pattern that looks like this:
[gallery::name/of/the/folder/]
I would like to search:
- starting with literal characters `[gallery::`
- any other character (variable length)
- ending with "]"
So far, in PHP I have:
preg_match('/\[gallery\:/', $content, $matches, PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE);
I can find [gallery:
but that's it.
I would like to be able to find the rest (:name/of/the/folder/]
).
Try capturing it:
preg_match("/\[gallery::(.*?)]/", $content, $m);
Now $m
is an array:
0 => [gallery::/name/of/the/folder/]
1 => /name/of/the/folder/
