| I need help extracting some info using a regex in PHP. | |
| I have a string is like this | |
| [email protected] | |
| -> foo can change but is always lowercase alpha, variable length | |
| -> tmp is ALWAYS tmp | |
| -> uniqid is always lowercase alpha plus 0 to 9, output from uniqid() function | |
| -> moontoast.com is ALWAYS moontoast.com | |
| I need to extract the uniqid value from that string, using PHP. | |
| Please help as my regex foo is weak | |
| [email protected] |
@dhorrigan Good point. Updated to escape the '.'.
gah! github ate my stars in the regex :(
A humble vote for the solution proposed by @shama. Seems like foo, tmp, and anything after the @ are irrelevant.
@robertbasic use backticks ;)

@stuartherbert @maxmanders @robertbasic @JCook21 All of yours have various issues: must escape the 'dot' in "moontoast.com" or it would match anything like "moontoastecom" (the dot represents any character), one doesn't take the 'tmp' into account, and a few accept anything in the uniqid portion.
EDIT: Same general things apply to all the ones here.
