Assuming you are doing just one string at a time: <? $str = "[i:abcdef]"; #[i:bcdefg] #[i:xyzab] #[i:priftds]
$regex = "/(\[i:)(\w+)(\])/i"; preg_match($regex, $str, $matches);
print $str;//original string print substr($matches[2], 1, 3);//trimmed string ?>

If the format is consistantly the same, try this:
$somedata = "[i:aslkdfj]"; $insidedata = substr($somedata,3,strlen($somedata)-4);
