You can try something like this :

<?php 
$text = 'Casas (3)';
preg_match('#\((.*?)\)#', $text, $match);
print $match[1];

?>

Hope it helps..

Try this

$str = "Casas (3)";
preg_match_all('!\d+!', $str, $matches);
print_r($matches);

Just out of curiosity: What is the difference to [this](http://stackoverflow.com/a/6278312/3933332) besides the string? If answer = none -> this would be a dupe – Rizier123 Feb 24 '15 at 06:07

Use preg_match with your regular expression

$f = 'Casas (3)';
preg_match('/\(([^)]+)\)/', $f, $fr)
echo $fr[1];
