Searching for certain characters, and reading content after

[rapmonkey]

I want to search the contents of a variable for the characters {{ and read what follows into another variable until }} is encountered, then stop reading. How would I do this? Thanks for any help!

I usually need to test my poor regex to confirm, but you could try:

$subject = 'hello {{hmm... I like this, yeah!}} world!';
$matches = array();
preg_match('/\{\{(.*)\}\}/', $subject, $matches);
//now $matches[1] should contain the info
