Question

Okay, let’s say this is a line
v1=something;v2=something2;

how to get v1 value (something) starting from = and break at ; and same to be done with v2 by calling it (v1)

function getVal($name){
  // some code to start grabbing from = and end by ;
}

when i call

getVal("v1");

it should return “something”

Answer 1

This will work

v1=([^;]*)

The match will be in group 1

Just replace v1 in the regex with the key you want to lookup

if (preg_match('/v1=([^;]*)/', $subject, $regs)) {
    $result = $regs[1];
} else {
    $result = "";
}
