If you have spaces as separators in the field you can use this method:
Include https://github.com/LinusU/php-bitcoin-address-validator

Code:

   use \LinusU\Bitcoin\AddressValidator;
   $addrVersion = "00";
   $string = "my bit coin address is 1Dxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx can you help me";

   $parsed = explode(" ", $string);

   foreach($parsed as $row)
   {
       $ret = AddressValidator::isValid($row, $addrVersion);

       if($ret) echo $row . " is valid";
   }
?>

By changing $addrVersion you can make it work with any coin out there.

Hope this helps

I have a string of data in my mysql database column - I am using PHP - I want to search my db in a column and see if there are any Bitcoin addresses in the field. -

$test1 "1Dxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
preg_match("/^[13][a-km-zA-HJ-NP-Z0-9]{25,34}$/", $test2, $matches)
This works if the address is at the beginning - how about if it somewhere else in the field?

Huh

$test1 = "my bit coin address is 1Dxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx can you help me";

Try this instead:

Code:

/[13][a-km-zA-HJ-NP-Z0-9]{26,33}/
