Hi,

You can do:

$data = '[i:something]';
$array_data = explode(':',$data);

and you will have:
'[i' in $array_data[0]
'something]' in $array_data[1]

If i understod corretly, you want to get only something, so you need 
$array_data[1]. To take off brackets, just use str_replace();

Hoppe this helps,
Jordi.
