Need help with a REGEXP

I am trying to match

some bbcode in the form of

[quota=234]

But can't seem to get it to work

what I have so far is:

if(preg_match("/\[quota=[0-9]\]/i",$string)){
//do stuff
}

Code (markup):

but it is not working.....somehow I need to escape the [ brackets.

An Idea s to how I can accomplish this?

 

<?php

$string = "[quota=123456]This is our test string[/quota]";

if(preg_match("/\[quota=(.*)\]/i",$string)){
echo "Match Found";
}else{
echo "No Match";
}

?>

PHP:

 

thanks MyVodaPhone ...it works perfectly.

Can you tell me why the change to (.*) makes it work?

When I do this preg_match("/quota=[0-9]/i",$string) it works for matching quota=123

But why not when I try [quota123 and the outer brakets....but your works with the change to (.*).

Glad your version works just curious why mine didn't so I can learn


Thanks for your help!

 

Well your initial search was including the [brackets] so I figured as long as we had an [opening and closing] bracket it didn't mater what quota was equalled to. If that's a problem let us know....

 

I guess I need to read up on REGEXP more because I still don't get it
Anyway thanks for your help.... your solution is working excellent for what I need.

Thanks again.

 

it looks good
