Hi,

I want to extract the value between [SiteName] from $postText and save it as $s_sitename. Is preg_replace the best way to do this?

Here is what i have so far:

PHP Code:


			
$pattern[0] = "/\[SiteName\](.*)\[\/SiteName\]/";

$replace[0] = "$1";

$s_sitename = preg_replace($pattern, $replace, $postText);

At the moment i get the sitename but it then shows all the other text in $postText.

Thanks!
