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); ?> Justin French
