Matching multiple strings in a string

[DeepBLERG]

Hi,

If I have a string like this:

Lots of text here. Lots of text here. Name: Someone ID: 93493284 Lots of text here. Type: person Lots of text here. Lots of text here.

and I need 3 vars created, $name, $id and $type from the string, whats the best way of doing this?

Thanks.

<?php

$str = "Lots of text here. Lots of text here. Name: Someone ID: 93493284 
Lots of text here. Type: person Lots of text here. Lots of text here.";

if(preg_match('#Name: (.*?) #',$str,$n)) {
     $name = $n[1];
}
if(preg_match('#ID: (.*?) #',$str,$i)) {
     $id = $i[1];
}
if(preg_match('#Type: (.*?) #',$str,$t)) {
     $type = $t[1];
}

?>

I think that this should work, but I haven't tested it!
