//How to get a subtring between a starting string and an ending string
$s = "ireallylove2000onion2001chips"; //original sting
$string_a = '2000'; //starting string
$string_b = '2001'; //ending string
$x = strpos($s, "$string_a");
$x = $x + strlen($string_a);
$y = strpos($s, "$string_b");
$y = strlen($s) - $y;
$z = substr($s, $x, -$y); //returns the substring beetween 2000 and 2001
echo "$z"; //prints onion
