Re: Substr

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



You can also use split function if you do not know about regular expressions and do not want to learn:

<?php

$string = "pid_1_date_2004_10_25";
$regs = split ("_", $string );

print_r ($regs);

?>

I think its autoexplicative.

Hi,

I have a string as follows: pid_1_date_2004_10_25

pid tells me the Project_ID and date tells me the date(!). I need to extract this information from the string so to get the date I need everything after 'date_' as follows:

substr(strstr($key, 'date_'), 4)

However, to get the Project ID I need to extract everything after 'pid_' and everything before 'date_'. Can someone help me with this please as PHP doesn't seem to provide a function for extracting information from a string that occurs before the 'needle'?
