markduce Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Hello, I need to be able to find what is inbetween 2 values in a string of text. For example, <?php $string="Hello and welcome to the site. Click [link]welcome.php[/link] here to continue to the site"; ?> So I need some method of searching the string to see what values are in between the [link] and [/link] which I will then deal with in my own way. I have a feeling that I could do this with explode, but I'm not really sure. Any advice? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddski Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 You can use regular expressions: preg_match_all('/\[link\](.*)\[\/link\]/',$string,$matches); You will find the result in the $matches array. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buddski Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 You can mark it as solved but to be honest I have no idea where that is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
