small PHP script needed to find data (key) inside a string

Hi,

I have a long string to search, below is an example:

as you will see the string is built as follows: $choix="$key1 ($item1,$item2), $key ($item1,$item2,$item3),....)"

I want to have a script that returns me the key value and the item number 3 when I pass an item value. for instance, it would return "USD" and "american dollar" for Porto Rico or "INR" and "Indian rupee" for Inde

Items are unique.

Number of items is random (minimum 3)

USD(bla, bla, bla,bla)

JPY(bla, bla,bla)

etc.

You might have (not sure yet): key=item

Also item can be also numeric value

USD(USD,1,American Dollar,bla, bla,bla)

USD(1,USD,american dollar,United States,Porto Rico, Ecuador,Panama)

item to search: Panama

returns: "USD" (currency code) and "american dollar" currency name

Thank you
