Simple preg_match - or should be!

Hi

I'm struggling to do something very simple with regular expressions and preg_match.

I have: BRAND MODEL

Something like: Sony A1B2

I want to extract just the model, so the reg ex I need is 'a complete word containing both letters and numbers'.

Here's what I thought should work:

preg_match("/[a-zA-Z0-9]+/", $product_name);

But that brings back Sony. Any help very much appreciated.

Thanks

Tom, put a space in, because there's a space between your brand and model:

preg_match('/ [a-z0-9]+/i', $product_name);

Added the i to make it case-insensitive.

These questions have raised the concept of web statistics. Often times, webmasters use certain programs, such as Google Analytics or Awstats, to complete this job for them. These programs obtain a wide variety of information about visitors to a site. They find page views, visits, unique visitors, browsers, IP addresses, and much more. But how exactly is this accomplished? Follow along as we present a tutorial on how to create your own web statistics program using PHP, JavaScript, AJAX, and SQLite.
