Extract a single (unsigned) integer from a string
If you just want to filter everything other than the numbers out, the easiest is to use filter_var:
$str = 'In My Cart : 11 items';$int = (int) filter_var($str, FILTER_SANITIZE_NUMBER_INT);
$str = 'In My Cart : 11 12 items';preg_match_all('!\d+!', $str, $matches);print_r($matches);
preg_replace('/[^0-9]/', '', $string);
This should do better job!...
