regex - Php preg_match to capture only specific phrases -

example string:

$string = 'text text text text {capture this1, this2} text text text text';

i want use preg_match, these this1, , this2 in array , nothing else.

i trying so:

$array = array(); $reg = '/\{capture.*\}/'; //this needs changing preg_match($reg, $string, $array); var_dump($array);

this captures {capture this1, this2}. how exclude '{' sign regex? trying .!\{ gave me errors. suggestions?

you can try following regex:

/\{(capture[^}]*)\}/
