Question

Please take a look at the content of this variable:

$profile_rule = 'profile LIKE (\'fitness\') AND profile LIKE (\'pets\')';

Is there a way to strip all the text inside and just get the words fitness and pets into two separate variables?

$var1 = 'fitness';
$var2 = 'pets';

I’m not sure this could be done, but if there’s a way it will save me allot of work.

Thank you!

$profile_rule = 'profile LIKE (\'fitness\') AND profile LIKE (\'pets\')';

preg_match_all('/\'(.*?)\'/',$profile_rule,$match);

print_r($match[1]);

// Outputs: Array ( [0] => fitness [1] => pets )
