How to get a substring between two strings in PHP?

Answer 1

If you have multiple recurrences from a single string and you have different [start] and [\end] pattern. Here's a function which output an array.

function get_string_between($string, $start, $end){
    $split_string       = explode($end,$string);
    foreach($split_string as $data) {
         $str_pos       = strpos($data,$start);
         $last_pos      = strlen($data);
         $capture_len   = $last_pos - $str_pos;
         $return[]      = substr($data,$str_pos+1,$capture_len);
    }
    return $return;
}
