PHP preg_replace string text

Question

I am trying to replace every instance of:

{{anythinghere::anythingthere}}

in a string.

Any help would be appreciated

Assuming the rest are literal characters, define anything. Also answer Spudley's question. — Jason McCreary

As you didn't specify what you want to replace it with:

preg_replace("/{{([^:}]+)::([^:}]+)}}/", "First_param: $1, Second_param: $2", $target_string);

This would return First_param: anythinghere, Second_param: anythingthere.
