title: PHP/REGEX: Get a string within parentheses
body: <p>This is a really simple problem, but I couldn't find a solution anywhere.</p>
  
  <p>I'm try to use preg_match or preg_match_all to obtain a string from within parentheses, <strong>but without the parentheses</strong>.</p>
  
  <p>So far, my expression looks like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>\([A-Za-z0-9 ]+\)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and returns the following result:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>3(hollow highlight) 928-129 (&lt;- original string)</p>
    
    <p>(hollow highlight) (&lt;- result)</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>What i want is the string within parentheses, but without the parentheses. It would look like this:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>hollow highlight</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I could probably replace the parentheses afterwards with str_replace or something, but that doesn't seem to be a very elegant solution to me.</p>
  
  <p>What do I have to add, so the parentheses aren't included in the result?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for your help, you guys are great! :)</p>
