How to put specific string in into array? [duplicate]

Question

I have a string like this:

[Rise] and rise [again] until lambs become [lions].

I want to get all the string inside the [] (Rise, again, lions) and put it in to an array. How can I do this?

Edit: Thank you guys, I already found the solution here: PHP: Best way to extract text within parenthesis?

You can do it with regular expressions:

$s = '[Rise] and rise [again] until lambs become [lions].';

preg_match_all('/\[([^\]]+)\]/', $s, $m);
print_r($m[1]);
