help with string problem please !!

aprinc

This is post to my php script (exactly as it looks):

$Name_First => John
$Name_Last => Smith

How to take out only John Smith??

Thanks

Wien

Try this example :

$var = "\$Name_First => John"; 
$whatyouwant = substr($var, strpos($var, "=>")+2, strlen($var));

aprinc

Yes it works, but I donn't know if the name will be John. Name will change all the time.

Any solution? Thanks

Wiens script works. It doesnt matter if there is John, Jane or something else. It subtracts the string from => to the end and returns the string.

Perhaps I did not explain my problem well.
How to write
$var = "\$Name_First => John"; when I donn't know if name is John.
How to write $var = "\$Name_First => (something that will read name here)";

Thanks

Wien
