This allows you to run the same function with different parameters, just so you don't have to rewrite this bit of code all of the time. Also uses the strpos which you used. Has been working great for me.

function get_string_between($string, $start, $end){
    $string = " ".$string;
    $ini = strpos($string,$start);
    if ($ini == 0) return "";
    $ini += strlen($start);
    $len = strpos($string,$end,$ini) - $ini;
    return substr($string,$ini,$len);
}

$fullstring = 'This is a long set of words that I am going to use.';

$parsed = get_string_between($fullstring, 'This', "use");

echo $parsed;

Will output:

is a long set of words that I am going to
