Php preg_match只捕获特定的短语

Question

Example string:

$string = 'text text text text {capture this1, this2} text text text text';

I want to use preg_match, to get only these this1, and this2 in an array and nothing else.

I was trying something like so:

$array = array();
$reg = '/\{capture.*\}/'; //this needs changing
preg_match($reg, $string, $array);
var_dump($array);

This captures {capture this1, this2}. How do i exclude the '{' sign from regex? I was trying something like .!\{ but it gave me errors. Any suggestions?

You can try with following regex:

/\{(capture[^}]*)\}/
