Php string split, how can i do that?

$mystring = "@blablabla Kayit Ol ogrencino:1176160"

This is my string, placament of ogrencino:1176160 in string can change, but others will be stable.

Like:

$mystring = "@blablabla ogrencino:1176160 Kayit Ol" etc.

How can i parse "1176160"?

You can also look at this regex:

(?<=ogrencino:)(.+?)[\s$]

It is independent of what value exists after ogrencino:. (It can be digit or non-digit)

Regex break up:

(?<=ogrencino:) = Positive look behind, checks `ogrencino:` exists behind the next criteria.
.+?             = Any thing (except new line) one or more time, but lazy due to `?`.
[\s$]           = after match either whitespace or end of line will exists.

Use preg_match like so:

$mystring = "@blablabla ogrencino:1176160 Kayit Ol";

// Changed regular expression to match Kolink's comment
preg_match('/(?<=\bogrencino:)\d+/', $mystring, $matches);

print_r($matches);
// displays Array ( [0] => 1176160 )

If it appears more than once in the string you can do preg_match_all()

Without REGEX:

$string = "@blablabla ogrencino:1176160 Kayit Ol";
$beg = strpos($string,"ogrencino:") + strlen("ogrencino:");
$end = strpos($string," ",$beg);
$mynumber = substr($string,$beg,$end-$beg); //1176100

You want to look into regular expressions, particularly preg_match.

For your specific example do something like this:

$mystring = "@blablabla ogrencino:1176160 Kayit Ol";
$matches = array();
preg_match( '/ogrencino\d+/', $mystring, $matches);

echo $matches[0];  // ogrencino:1176100

What this does is find every instance of "one or more digits" (that's what the \d+ is) and read every match into $matches
