  How to echo an array in PHP?

I have this script that gets any character that is between these two targeted characters

[ ]

so I manage to figure out how to do this in PHP but i'm facing a new problem now. I'm realizing it is only showing the first match.

i1616774134

I want to show all the matches so how can I do this and do I need to use a loop with my code? perhaps you guys will suggest a loop but I don't know how that structure will look like in my situation

so i'm clueless. I tried to use a loop with this but no success yet and I already tried preg_match_all but it gave me this error Notice: Array to string conversion when I try to use preg_match_all.

Here is my code

<?php



$string='[i1616774134][i335913688][i1986362289][i873468737][i1187566881][i297212592]';

$pattern='/[(.*?)]/';



$result = preg_match($pattern, $string, $match);



  if($result){

   echo $match[1].'<br/>';

 }



?>

  Use preg_match_all. If you want to use a more efficient pattern, use $pattern='/[([^]*)]/';, or even $pattern='/[K[^]*/';

  No idea, it works well. If you want to print an array, use print_r, not echo. Or, use foreach ($match[1] as $s) { echo $s ."n"; } (see this demo).
