preg_match('~{(.*?)}~', $string)

PHP:

Should do it, though you may have to escape the curly braces.

 

preg_match("#\{$word\}#i", $str);

Code (markup):

Curley braces denote an "N or more times" syntax, so yes, they need to be escaped when used.
For instance the following will match 2-7 zeros.

#0{2,7}#

Code (markup):

You can use preg_quote any time you're unsure about metacharacters.
