[PHP] Re: Get value between 2 strings

[Al]

Here's what I use:

/**
* get_text()
*
* $t The total text string
* $s starting text string [e.g. <h1>]
* $e ending text string [e.g. </h1>
*
* @return the extracted text string. [e.g., returns string between 
start and end texts.
*/
function get_text($text, $s, $e) // Get string out of text
{
   $sp = strpos($text, $s, 0) + strlen($s);
   $ep = strpos($text, $e, 0);
   return substr($text, $sp, $ep - $sp);
}

Hello.  I was wondering if anyone knew of a function to get the value
between 2 strings.  For example, lets say I have the following line:
$line = "I want the value between word ONE and word TWO.  Please return
it...";
Now, I want to get everything between "ONE" and "TWO".  In this example it
should return the value " and word ".  Is there some sort of function I
could use to easily do this?  Please let me know if you have any ideas.
Thanks,

Matt
