This regex will find what you're after.
\w+=.*?(,|$)
If you want to capture each pairing use
(\w+)=(.*?)(?:,|$)
http://rubular.com/r/A2ernIzQkq
The \w+ is one or more occurrences of a character a-z, 1-9, or an underscore. The .*? is everything until the first , or the end of the string ($). The pipe is or and the ?: tells the regex no to capture that part of the expression.
Per your comment it would be used in Ruby as such,
(/\w+=.*?(,|$)/ =~ my_string) == 0

What about something like this? It's picky about the last element not ending with ,. But it doesn't enforce the need for no commas in the key or no equals in the value.
'locker_number=3,[email protected],mobile_phone=091332771331,firstname=ucup' =~ /^([^=]+=[^,]+,)*([^=]+=[^,]+)$/

You can use a regex like this:
\w+=.*?(,|$)
You can use this code:
"<your string>" =~ /\w+=.*?(,|$)/
