php preg_match_all multiple patterns

Question

[-27439367, 160818667, 'http:\/\/cs13110.vk.me\/u109515688\/video\/l_97403fde.jpg', 'Super Bass', '', '0', 38674081, 37, 0, '2:34', '3', '_8cb245a336c2e35049', '']

Hello! Here is my sample text.... I need to use preg_match for multiple patterns... I need to find:

1. -27439367
2. 165375317
3. http://cs6067.vk.me/u189929178/video/l_02613a05.jpg
4. Super Bass
5. 0
6. 38674081
7. 37
8. 2:34
9. 0
10. 3
11. _8cb245a336c2e35049

I used:

preg_match_all("/[(.*?), (.*?), '(.*?)', '(.*?)', '', '0', 0, 23, 0, '', '0', '(.*?)', '']/mis", $a, $hashtweet);

it looks like valid json, so php.net/manual/en/function.json-decode.php — mpapec

valid json would be double-quotes " not single-quotes ' . i dont know if json_decode can handle that, if not str_replace helps — x4rf41

Here you go:

$json = "[-27439367, 160818667, 'http:\/\/cs13110.vk.me\/u109515688\/video\/l_97403fde.jpg', 'Super Bass', '', '0', 38674081, 37, 0, '2:34', '3', '_8cb245a336c2e35049', '']" ;
$json = preg_replace("/'/", '"', $json); //Replace single quotes by double quotes
$obj = json_decode($json);

var_dump($obj);

array (size=13)
  0 => int -27439367
  1 => int 160818667
  2 => string 'http://cs13110.vk.me/u109515688/video/l_97403fde.jpg' (length=52)
  3 => string 'Super Bass' (length=10)
  4 => string '' (length=0)
  5 => string '0' (length=1)
  6 => int 38674081
  7 => int 37
  8 => int 0
  9 => string '2:34' (length=4)
  10 => string '3' (length=1)
  11 => string '_8cb245a336c2e35049' (length=19)
  12 => string '' (length=0)

Maybe strip the [] brackets and do explode(',', $input) (docs)?

Another idea: this looks like a valid JSON data, so json_decode (docs) should do the trick.
