PHP String Parsing

Question

I have string which contains something about "amount 3 val 6, amount 7 val 8" and so, what regular expression should I use to get array with corresponding amounts and values?

Is there ever a case where you wouldn't have a value for something? For instance "amount val 5, amount 8 val 4, amount 6 val" — Jordan Messina

$str = "amount 3 val 6, amount 7 val 8";
preg_match_all('~amount (\d+) val (\d+)~i', $str, $matches);

echo '<pre>';
print_r($matches);
echo '</pre>';

$str = 'amount 3 val 6, amount 7 val 8';
preg_match_all('#amount\s+(\d+)\s+val\s+(\d+)#', $str, $matches);

All amounts in $matches[1], all vals in $matches[2].
