Delimiter must not be alphanumeric or backslash and preg_match

Question

I have this code :

$string1 = \"My name is \'Kate\' and im fine\"; 
$pattern = \"My name is \'(.*)\' and im fine\"; 
preg_match($pattern , $string1, $matches         


        

Answer 1

You can also use T-Regx library which has automatic delimiters for you:

$matches = pattern("My name is '(.*)' and im fine")->match($string1)->all();

                 // ↑ No delimiters needed
