explode string multiple instances-CodePudding

I have the following string;

$string = '[PAGE][TITLE]Navigation Link 1[TITLE]Content Here[PAGE]';

my desired output is;

<div id="navigation Link 1">Content Here</div>

I thought I had done it with ;

        $array = explode('[PAGE]', $string);
        $result = $array[0];
        for ($i = 1; $i < sizeof($array); $i  ) {
            $title = explode('[TITLE]', $array[$i]);
            for ($i = 1; $i < sizeof($title); $i  ) {
                $result .= $i % 2 ? '<div id="' . $title[$i] . '">' . $array[$i] . '</div>' : $array[$i];
            }
        }

If someone could take a look at this that would be great. This has also got to work with multiple instances. For example ;

$string = '[PAGE][TITLE]Navigation Link 1[TITLE]Content Here[PAGE] some text [PAGE][TITLE]Navigation Link 2[TITLE]Content Here[PAGE]';

Thankyou for looking at this and for any help.

You could use preg_match_all() to get desired content :


$string = '[PAGE][TITLE]Navigation Link 1[TITLE]Content1 Here[PAGE] some text [PAGE][TITLE]Navigation Link 2[TITLE]Content2 Here[PAGE]';

$html = '';
if (preg_match_all('~\[PAGE\]\[TITLE\](.*?)\[TITLE\]([^[.]*)~',$string,$matches)) {
    foreach ($matches[0] as $k => $match) {
        $html .= '<div id="'.htmlentities($matches[1][$k]).'">'.htmlentities($matches[2][$k]).'</div>' . "\n";
    }
}

echo $html;

output:

<div id="Navigation Link 1">Content1 Here</div>
<div id="Navigation Link 2">Content2 Here</div>
