What would be the regular expression be detect the [zone] & [/zone] in line? I also need to be able to know what the word is in the brackets so I can make a variable later. Would Anybody be able to help me?

PHP Code:

<?php



$list = array();

$list[] = "[zone]";

$list[] = "value1 data1";

$list[] = "value2 data2";

$list[] = "[/zone]";



foreach($list as $line) {

  if (preg_match("dont know", $line, $match) {

     echo "Beginning or End of \"" . $match[1] . "\" Zone<br>\n";

  }

}

The word in the brackets is zone & /zone, I think they are for xml (so they arent variables, just tags)

[tylerc]

its not xml, xml has <these tags>, this has [this type] of tags. I want to be able to parse the value out of the brackets whether its a [value] or [/value]

Umm you may want to try something like this:
Or at least its a start of what you may need.

PHP Code:

<?php

    $string = "[zone]zoneValue[/zone]";

    $matchs = "";

    preg_match_all('/\[zone\](.+?)\[\/zone\]/is',$string,$matches);

?>
