if (!var

how can I get string between var vars and if (!var

I tried this code:

preg_match('/var vars = (.*?);

if (!var/mis', $get, $result)

Answer 1

Here is a simple way to get your content without needing to use lookarounds:

preg_match('~var vars = (\{.*?\};)~m', $get, $json_matches);
$json_match = $json_matches[1];
print $json_match;

I am pretty much just matching all of the data between the curly braces from one to the other.

Here is a working demo:
