preg_match_all() (see http://www.php.net/preg_match_all) should do what you
want -- something like:

 preg_match_all('/{([^}])+}/', $file_contents, $matches);

should give you an array of matched tags (excluding the braces) in
$matches[1].

Cheers!

[PHP-DB] Searching a file for text surrounded by brackets

[Jamie Saunders]

Hi, I need a way of searching a file for text between two brackets, below
is an example of a couple of lines from the file I'm searching:

{L_LOGIN}
{L_LOGOUT}

So I'll need to search the above for text between the '{' and '}' brackets
and read each into an array.
