php - how to get specific value from the string

Question

I am facing issue when trying to extract specific value from the string but not getting the proper output.

$string = com.xyz.ghop.service.sprint.Sprint@1b0258c[id=257,rapidViewId=94,state=CLOSED,name=Alert Success 5,goal=,startDate=2016-08-16T20:20:46.730+05:30,endDate=2016-08-26T20:20:00.000+05:30,completeDate=2016-08-26T21:18:53.928+05:30,sequence=257]

I want the value inside name= till the comma and I tried with preg_match_all but it just gives the first word.

This is what I tried:

preg_match_all("/(?=name\=([^\W]+))/", $string, $matches); 
$resulte = implode(",", $matches[1]);

Please help

Thanks

preg_match_all("/(?=name\=([^\W]+))/", $string, $matches); $resulte = implode(",", $matches[1]); — Dython, Mar 05 '17 at 14:24

there are multiple approaches , available on whether preg_match or preg_match_all

$results = preg_match('#name=(.*?),#', $matches);

OR

$results = preg_match('#name=([^,]+),#', $matches);

@Areik access `$matches[1]` for that – sidyll Mar 05 '17 at 14:44
as @sidyll said , by the way i've updated the answer – hassan Mar 05 '17 at 14:45
@HassanAhmed now you made the opposite of what he asked :D – sidyll Mar 05 '17 at 14:45
:D but it will fit with the original question – hassan Mar 05 '17 at 14:47
but when I access $matches[0] I am getting output like this "name=Alert Success 5," – Dython Mar 05 '17 at 14:49
i didn't know what you are exactly want, the current pattern will return only value `Alert Success 5` when you are use `$matches[1]` – hassan Mar 05 '17 at 15:09

You could try something like:

preg_match("/name=(.+?),/", $string, $matches);
$result = end($matches);

Hope this helps!

why using end ! $matches[1]; is enough as long as you are matching one thing . – hassan Mar 05 '17 at 14:46
@HassanAhmed Why not... :) – Rwd Mar 05 '17 at 16:13
