How to Split words using php?

Question

I want to split a small word. My word is written bellow.

{you: awesome; feeling good}

I want to split above word to just get the word

Answer 1

$arr = explode(';', trim("{you: awesome; feeling good}", '{}'));
$feel_good_string = trim($arr[1]);
echo $feel_good_string;

Answer 2

Other option would be....

$str = "{you: awesome; feeling good}";
$str = trim($str,"{}");
echo substr($str,strpos($str,";")+1);

Answer 3

You can use explode() in PHP for split string.

Example 1:

$string = '{you: awesome; feeling good}'; // your string
preg_match('/{(.*?)}/', $string, $match); // match inside the {}
$exploded = explode(";",$match[1]); // explode with ;
echo $exploded[1]; // feeling good

Example 2:

$string = '{you: awesome; feeling good}'; // your string
$exploded = explode(";", $string);  // explode with ;
echo rtrim($exploded[1],"}"); // rtrim to remove ending }
