使用php中的正则表达式将字符串拆分为数组

Question

I am trying to split the string and place in an array using regular expression. The string may change every time What I need to do is if the string match with T: then i need to get 4774 4848 If the string matches both T: and M:, then I need my result as

array(
[0] => 4774 4848, 
[1]=>0448 888 899
)

This is my code,

if (preg_match("/[T:|M:|Mob:|Phone:]\W(.*)[\W:]/mi", "T: 4774 4848 M: 0448 888 899", $matches))
        print_r($matches);

Here my output is

Array
(
    [0] => T: 4774 4848 M: 0448 888 
    [1] =>  4774 4848 M: 0448 888
)

How can I split [1] => 4774 4848 M: 0448 888 as

[1] => 4774 4848, 
[2]=>0448 888 899

Please help me in getting this. Thanks in advance!

Try to do matching instead of splitting. Use preg_match_all to do a global match.

preg_match_all("/(?:[TM]:|Mob:|Phone:)\s*\K.*?(?=\s*[A-Z]:|$)/mi", "T: 4774 4848 M: 0448 888 899", $matches);
print_r($matches);

Output:

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [0] => 4774 4848
            [1] => 0448 888 899
        )

)

Input with T: only,

preg_match_all("/(?:[TM]:|Mob:|Phone:)\s*\K.*?(?=\s*[A-Z]:|$)/mi", "T: 4774 4848", $matches);
print_r($matches);

Output:

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [0] => 4774 4848
        )

)
