Try:

preg_match( "/(\w+)\(?(\d+)?/", $target, $arr );

<?php

$arr = array();
$arr[] = "int(11)";
$arr[] = "varchar(45)";
$arr[] = "datetime";

foreach ( $arr as $x ) {
if ( preg_match( "/(\w+)\(?(\d+)?/", $x, $arr2 ) == 1 ) {
echo "\$x = \"{$x}\"";
echo ", \$arr2[0] = \"{$arr2[0]}\"";
echo ", \$arr2[1] = \"{$arr2[1]}\"";
if ( isset( $arr2[2] ) )
echo ", \$arr2[2] = \"{$arr2[2]}\"";
echo "\n";
}
else {
echo "\$x = \"{$x}\" - No match or regex error!\n";
}
}
