Getting a part of a string..

[Anon]

Hi,

I have been scratching my head with this one:

Lets say I have a string called

"This is prefix Here is my string This is suffix"

How do I get the string "Here is my string" from this one? I cannot use implode or explode!

"This is prefix" and "This is suffix" are always known though, so the thing I am doing now is that I explode based on "This is prefix", take the second element in the array and then explode with "This is suffix"..I am close to ghetting this work but I would really appreciate if some one could tlel me the best way to achieve this!

Thanks!

Manuals are your friend.

Read the section about string functions: substr()

You should also most certainly read about the regular expression
functions, too.

Correctus. I keep forgetting about regexps. They can be quite complex, but they are very very fast!
