get content from string php regex

I have the next string:

$string = '["["123456","NAME","1","INFORMATION","15/12/2015","","","0","OTHER ATTRIBUTE","",""]","["["123", "OTHER"]"';

I want to extract the alphanumeric information between double quotes, I tried with this answer

Regex to get content between single and double quotes php

but the output was this, 

[0]=> array(12) { [0]=> string(3) ""["" [1]=> string(3) "","" [2]=> string(3) "","" [3]=> string(3) "","" [4]=> string(3) "","" [5]=> string(3) "","" [6]=> string(3) "","" [7]=> string(3) "","" [8]=> string(3) "","" [9]=> string(3) "","" [10]=> string(3) "","" [11]=> string(3) ""]"" } [1]=> array(12) { [0]=> string(1) """ [1]=> string(1) """ [2]=> string(1) """ [3]=> string(1) """ [4]=> string(1) """ [5]=> string(1) """ [6]=> string(1) """ [7]=> string(1) """ [8]=> string(1) """ [9]=> string(1) """ [10]=> string(1) """ [11]=> string(1) """ } [2]=> array(12) { [0]=> string(1) "[" [1]=> string(1) "," [2]=> string(1) "," [3]=> string(1) "," [4]=> string(1) "," [5]=> string(1) "," [6]=> string(1) "," [7]=> string(1) "," [8]=> string(1) "," [9]=> string(1) "," [10]=> string(1) "," [11]=> string(1) "]" }

How can I achieve this?

Your input "["123456"... is different to the link you mentioned. And no single quote here.

An idea would be to require a \w word character in pattern for at least one [A-Za-z0-9_]

if(preg_match_all('/"([^"]*?\w[^"]*)"/', $string, $out) > 0)
  print_r($out[1]);
  • [^"]* matches any amount of characters, that are not ". The ? after * makes it lazy.
  • Find matches in $1 what's captured by first capture group (parenthesized group).

See demo and more explanation at regex101 or PHP demo at eval.in

Try this regey with preg_match_all :

\"[^\"\,\[\]]+\"
