regex item count

I have two distinct styles of item count text to extract the total number of items from.

From style 1 I need the number 3, From Style 2 i need 56

Style 1:
3 Item(s)

Style 2:
Items 1 to 45 of 56 total

I was trying this to match

/(?<page>\d+,?\d+) total| Item\(s\)/

It matches the 56 in style 2 but not the 3 in style 1.

This will be used with preg_match in php ( we can't change that as we are feeding values via a webform )

I have some other regex's I've tried, which I could post if required.

You need to put total, item inside a capturing or non-capturing group, so that the first pattern would become a common one for both total and Item.

(?<page>\d+(?:,\d+)*)(?: total| Item\(s\))
