PHP - Getting a sub-string from a string

Question

I have a string as

$line = \"Name=johnGender=M\";

How to make a string called $name that will have a value stored as joh

Answer 1

Suppose we dont know the length of the name. Say, $line = "Name=SaifUrRehmanGender=M";

Use strpos() to get the index of "Gender"

The strpos() function finds the position of the first occurrence of a string inside another string.

For your case: $name = substr($line,5,strpos($line,"Gender")-5); will do :)

Output: SaifUrRehman
