Well I would have used pcre on the subject but since you start off parsing yourself...
$idx = strpos($subject, " [ Ticket ");
if ($idx) {
// Probably is my kind of title
$title = substr($subject, $idx + 1);
$ticket = substr($subject, $idx + 9, -2);
$subject_array = array( ‘subject’=>$title, ‘ticket_profile_reference’=>$ticket );
} else {
// Some other kind of subject
$subject_array = array();
}
