Why this regular expression is not working in PHP but works in .net?

Below is a regex which works fine in .net but give me error if I use it in PHP. 

(?<=")([^"]+,[^"]+)?(?=")

What does this regex is supposed to return?

Input: 1,"x1",43,"tr","y,7"

It will return me "y,7" in this case. In general, it will return any part between " and " if it has a comma between it.

When I try to use this in PHP, I get following error:

Unknown modifier '('

Please help.

~(?<=")([^"]+,[^"]+)?(?=")~

For php (preg_* functions) you need to specify delimiter around the regex iteself. It can be !, /, #, ~, etc.
