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

Try this :

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

Call the above function and pass the string, starting string and ending string

$line = "Name=johnGender=M";
$parsed = strinbetween($line,'=','G');
echo $parsed;

So here it will return john
