quick regex question

[Keith Hughitt]

Anyone know how to match something wrapped using perl-style regular
expressions?

e.g. given "function(input , input2, etc)"

How can you match just the inputs? $re = "/function\([^\)]*\)/"; will
match the entire string, but I'd prefer to just
get back the inputs.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

$test = "function(input , input2, etc)";

if ( preg_match("/function\(([^\)]*)\)/", $test, $match) )
{
$inputs = preg_split("/[\,\s]+/", $match[1]);
print_r($inputs );
}
