Result Capture in webpage output

I have a PHP file.

Based on the PHP the server generates a output string for example say

111 success: id:12345678 |value:10000045

Is it possible to store this output in variable and use it? say

$input = 12345678

I also do not want to store the entire output generated by the server in $input variable ,i just want to save some part of the output in it.

For example i only want to save only id not value.

How can i do these?

$server_said = file_get_contents('http://serveroutput.com/theoutput.php');
if (preg_match('/id\:(\d*)/', $server_said, $matches)) {
    $input = $matches[1];
}
