@mostmaz :
$asin = preg_replace($regex, '$2', $your_amazon_url);

or with preg_match

preg_match($regex, $your_amazon_url, $match);

if (isset($match[2]) && strlen($match[2]) == 10) {
    $asin = $match[2];
}

you can replace $2 / $match[2] by "1" if remove bracket :

(?:(smile\.|www\.))? > (?:smile\.|www\.)?
