// [ { "id": "715320" ,"t" : "500268" ,"e" : "BOM" ,"l" : "15.55" ,"l_cur" : "Rs.15.55"

I need to Get each with name and assign the value to each
Like
$id=715320;
$e=BOM;
from above data, how can i do that?
As that's JSON encoded data, you can use json_decode rather than a regex - this is far more reliable (be sure to remove the leading \\ as that's a comment rather than JSON).
To then get the data into named variables:
$array = json_decode($string, true);
foreach ($array as $k => $v){
$$k = $v;
}
This will result in id, t etc (which are now keys in $array) being set as their own variables like $id, $t .
edit: as aularon notes, you can also use the extract method to move the array keys to the global scope.
Your string totally looks like a JSon data. You should use the JSon methods to parse the content.
If your really want to use regexes you can do this :
<?php
$yourString = '// [ { "id": "715320" ,"t" : "500268" ,"e" : "BOM" ,"l" : "15.55" ,"l_cur" : "Rs.15.55"
,"ltt":"3:59PM IST" ,"lt" : "Sep 9, 3:59PM IST" ,"c" : "+1.69" ,"cp" : "12.19"
,"ccol" : "chg" } ] ';
preg_match_all("/\"(.+?)\"\s*:\s*\"(.+?)\"/", $yourString, $matches, PREG_SET_ORDER);
foreach($matches as $match){
$resultArray[$match[1]] = $match[2];
}
print_r($resultArray);
?>
Is used an array instead of variables in this code, but if you do really want to use variables such as $e which is a really really bad idea, you can use variable variables.
You replace the foreach content by this :
${$match[1]} = $match[2];

On the same topic :
You don't need regular expressions, above is a JSON object notation, you need to do php json_decode on it, get the values, which will be an associative array:
$str='[ { "id": "715320" ,"t" : "500268" ,"e" : "BOM" ,"l" : "15.55" ,"l_cur" : "Rs.15.55"
,"ltt":"3:59PM IST" ,"lt" : "Sep 9, 3:59PM IST" ,"c" : "+1.69" ,"cp" : "12.19"
,"ccol" : "chg" } ] ';
$data=json_decode($str, true); //true to get the data as associative arrays rather than objects.
$data = $data[0];//since it's an object inside an array
from now on it's recommended keeping this as an associative array, and access objects using array accessors:
$id = $data['id'];
PHP's extract function can be used to extract those values into current context, but that is dangerous, sticking to the accessing the array directly is a better idea.
Isn't that simply JSON? Then take a look at json_decode. Or is there a reason you need to do this with a Regex?
