How find string after special character with preg_match

Question

i have string on the variable and question is how find any character after search/node/ and print that ?

String:

$var="search/node/Apartman";

my Codes :

$var="search/node/Apartment";    //URL

preg_match('/search/node/\K\d+/', $var,$newvar);

$FinalVAR=$newvar[0];

print_r ($FinalVAR);

BUT NOT WORK

THANKS FOR ANY HELP.

`preg_match('/search\/node\/(.*)/', $var,$newvar)`. then $newvar[1] should be what you need? Basically you need to escape the `/` in your pattern — ild flue, Jan 25 '18 at 09:07
I removed the first `\/` in my comment above, it works as shown below. — ild flue, Jan 25 '18 at 09:13
$var="search/node/Apartment"; //URL preg_match("/\bsearch\/node\b(.*)/", $var, $newvar); $FinalVAR=ltrim($newvar[1],'/'); print_r ($FinalVAR); — Gufran Hasan, Jan 25 '18 at 09:30

When using / as the delimiter, / in the pattern should be escaped. or use other rarely used char as delimiter, such as ~. The working code:

$var="search/node/Apartman";

preg_match('/search\/node\/(.*)/', $var,$newvar);

var_export($newvar);

Output

array (
  0 => 'search/node/Apartman',
  1 => 'Apartman',
)
