I have string like this [1] Name : Bro Jhon<br>[2] Name : Japar S
How to get Bro Jhon and Japar S and echo it?
What I've tried so far
$op = preg_match_all("/Name: (.*?)<br>/g",$x);

Have a try with this:
<?php
$subject = str_replace('<br>', "\n", '[1] Name : Bro Jhon<br>[2] Name : Japar S');
preg_match_all('/Name\s*:\s*(.*)/', $subject, $tokens);
print_r($tokens[1]);
The output obviously is:
Array
(
[0] => Bro Jhon
[1] => Japar S
)

Simple regex! made use of
\n. my +1You need to update your regex into
Name\s*:\s*(.*?)(?=\<br\>|$)
Problem with your regex are as follows
Name: (.*?)<br>
- Within your string you have
spacebetweenName&:i.eName :and your regex is looking forName:i.e. withoutspace - Other one is your regex will match for first value only i.e. before
<br>and not for those which're at theend of string - Also you don't need to specify
gmodifier or it'll throwwarningfor the same preg_matchreturns value inbooleanso for getting matches you need toassign third parameter.
So your PHP code looks like as
preg_match_all("/Name\s*:\s*(.*?)(?=\<br\>|$)/",$str,$n);
print_r($n[1]);

You could try to split the complete string. Something like:
<?
$str = "[1] Name : Bro Jhon<br>[2] Name : Japar S";
//splits for each <br>
$splitted_values = split("<br>", $str);
//on each splitted string
foreach($splitted in $splitted_values){
//we obtainwhete the : is
$pos = strpos(":", $splitted);
//the we remove from left to right
$name = substr($splitted, $pos);
//some spaces are removed also
$name = trim(name);
//finally the echo
echo $name;
}
?>
Also, you could write a regular expression.

We can extract word like this,Sorry I am quite poor with recuring function.I hope this will help you.
function getWord_between($string, $start, $end){
$string = ' ' . $string;
$ini = strpos($string, $start);
if ($ini == 0) return '';
$ini += strlen($start);
$len = strpos($string, $end, $ini) - $ini;
return substr($string, $ini, $len);
}
$fullstring = '[1] Name : Bro Jhon<br>[2] Name : Japar S';
$parsed = getWord_between($orgstring, 'Name :', '<br>');
echo $parsed;
$op = preg_match_all("/Name: (.*?)<br>/g",$x);but not work...Please i'm not understand about regex
