Hello. I was wondering if anyone knew of a function to get the value between 2 strings. For example, lets say I have the following line:
$line = "I want the value between word ONE and word TWO. Please return it...";
Now, I want to get everything between "ONE" and "TWO". In this example it
should return the value " and word ". Is there some sort of function I
could use to easily do this? Please let me know if you have any ideas.
Matt,
Regular expressions would be one solution:
<?
// UNTESTED
$line = "I want the value between word ONE and word TWO. Please return it...";
$match = preg_replace('/ONE (.*?) TWO/',' \\1 ',$line);
?>
