php get id from string using number of characters

Question

I have string like this

https://example.com/offers/show?ID=d5589152-1ba7-4bab-b810-1d43e734575e&something=blabla&somethingelse=blabla2

sometimes string looks different

https://example.com/o/ABC/PP-Bin/4be93fd6-1380-4403-9945-0c5bc54d05e6?sName=Bam+2rnt

I want to extract ID from this string by number of characters. Every ID has 8-4-4-4-12 characters

You can use `preg_match()` to get the id: https://www.phpliveregex.com/p/sWs — catcon, Jul 26 '19 at 01:35
that ID is a `GUID` or `unique Identifier`. read question suggested by showdev — AaA, Jul 26 '19 at 02:01

Try the following regular expression:

$subject = "https://example.com/offers/show?ID=d5589152-1ba7-4bab-b810-1d43e734575e&something=blabla&somethingelse=blabla2";

preg_match("/[a-zA-Z0-9]{8}\-[a-zA-Z0-9]{4}\-[a-zA-Z0-9]{4}\-[a-zA-Z0-9]{4}\-[a-zA-Z0-9]{12}/", $subject, $matches);

print_R($matches);
