    Hi All

    I need a text from a string

    The string is
    $mystring = "<p>{loadposition plans comas grv}</p>";

    I need the result "plans comas grv" from the string for someone who is good in preg_match can solve in few min and that will help me.

    Waiting for your valuable post.

    Thanks,
    Subikar

    preg_match( "%<p>loadposition (.*?)</p>%" , $input, $output);
    PHP:
    The text will be in $output[1]
    Note that the previous regex won't work due to the curly braces

    Nope, previous regex works just fine. Just tested it on PHP 5.3.0. And the curly braces is a requirement - your regex doesn't account for them (just tested that too).
