Hi, You can do: $data = '[i:something]'; $array_data = explode(':',$data); and you will have: '[i' in $array_data[0] 'something]' in $array_data[1] If i understod corretly, you want to get only something, so you need $array_data[1]. To take off brackets, just use str_replace(); Hoppe this helps, Jordi.

Or, better, you can do : preg_match( "/^\\[i\\:(.*)\\]\$/", "[i:something]", $matches ); $matches[1] will contain "something". Peter.
