Hi,
I have a string as follows: pid_1_date_2004_10_25
pid tells me the Project_ID and date tells me the date(!). I need to extract
this information from the string so to get the date I need everything after
'date_' as follows:
substr(strstr($key, 'date_'), 4)
However, to get the Project ID I need to extract everything after 'pid_' and
everything before 'date_'. Can someone help me with this please as PHP
doesn't seem to provide a function for extracting information from a string
that occurs before the 'needle'?
