PHP and splitting a string?

[evachick156]

I have the following string
$string = "Flower (roses)";

I have the following code:
$type = split("(", $string);
echo "This is type " . $type;


But i am not getting a value and out of $string i just want "roses" without the brackets. Help

$string = "Flower (roses)";
$tmp = preg_match( '/(\(){1}(\w*)(\)){1}/', $string);
echo "This is type $tmp[2]";
