Re: Get value between 2 strings

Here's what I use: /** * get_text() * * $t The total text string * $s starting text string [e.g. <h1>] * $e ending text string [e.g. </h1> * * @return the extracted text string. [e.g., returns string between start and end texts. */ function get_text($text, $s, $e) // Get string out of text { $sp = strpos($text, $s, 0) + strlen($s); $ep = strpos($text, $e, 0); return substr($text, $sp, $ep - $sp); } Matt Palermo wrote:

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. Thanks, Matt
