Note Submitter: tcn@pandora.be ---- Hi, I was searching for an option to extract the contents of a string between for example [a] and [b]. I was unable to find it, so I created something myself: function str_extract ($String,$CharBegin,$CharEnd) { $StringLength=strlen($String); $Begin=strpos($String,$CharBegin); $End=strpos($String,$CharEnd)-$Begin+strlen($CharEnd); return substr ($String, $Begin, $End); } It works like this: str_extract (string haystack, string begin, string end); For example: echo str_extract ("Bla bla [a]foo[b] bla bla", "[a]","[b]"); Would produce: [a]foo[b] Hopes this helpes someone!!!
