    If I'm trying to find the content within the brackets as follows using preg_match:

    Name (SubName)

    I've Tried:

    
(([a-zA-Z]+))
    Code (markup):
    but it doesn't seem to work?

    Escape it ) -> \) and ( -> \(

    <?php

$var = "Name (SubName)";

if(preg_match("#(\([a-zA-Z]+\))#", $var, $matches)) {

print_r($matches);

}

?>
