PHP preg_match get in between string

Question

I\'m trying to get the string hello world.

This is what I\'ve got so far:

$file = \"1232#hello world#\";

preg_match(\"#1232\\#(.*)\\##\         


        

Answer 1

It looks to me like you just have to get $match[1]:

php > $file = "1232#hello world#";
php > preg_match("/1232\\#(.*)\\#/", $file, $match);
php > print_r($match);
Array
(
    [0] => 1232#hello world#
    [1] => hello world
)
php > print_r($match[1]);
hello world

Are you getting different results?
