Try preg_match_all for this :

$a = 'text1 {text2} text3';
 preg_match_all("/\\{(.*?)\\}/", $a, $matches); 
print_R($matches[1][0]);

output will be:

text2

  • I need two more result `result = text1 text3 (remove {} word )` and from text1 {text2} text3 {text4} `result = text2 and text4` – Ashik Kaiser Jan 02 '18 at 13:35
  • @AshikKaiser check `$matches` array for `$a = 'text1 {text2} {text3}';` it will return you 'Array ( [0] => Array ( [0] => {text2} [1] => {text3} ) [1] => Array ( [0] => text2 [1] => text3 ) )' – Paritosh Mahale Jan 03 '18 at 04:19

One solution would be loop through each character. If character is { then start collecting characters into word variable. If you find } character, then finish - you have a word.

with regex:

$search = 'text1 {text2} text3';
preg_match('#\{(.*)\}#', $search, $match);
echo $match[1];

see preg_match doc
