PHP - Checking up on string with regex and push to array

Question

I have two variables as follows:

$string1 = '/test/10/25';
$string2 = '/test/[0-9]+/[0-9]+

Is it possible to make PHP compare these two strings and push the actual ID's (10 and 25) into an array like so by using the regex as some sort of guidance?

Array
(
    [0] => 10
    [1] => 25
)

I tried playing around with preg_match() but this just puts everything into the same array key.

This will work for you

<?php

$string1 = '/test/10/25';
$string2 = '/\/test\/([0-9]+)\/([0-9]+)/';
$matches = [];
preg_match($string2, $string1, $matches);

$array = [];

for($i = 1; $i < count($matches); $i ++)
{
    array_push($array, $matches[$i]);
}

print_r($array);

$array will have the matches inside. I had to change the regex string because it was not "valid" for php.
