From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Operating system: PHP version: 4.0.4pl1 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: Improving substr() I am currently using the following PHP Code to get a substring from a string, that is delimited by two given strings, $start and $end: function my_substr($start, $end, &$string) { $start = preg_quote($start); $end = preg_quote($end); preg_match("#$start(.*?)$end#", $string, $result); return $result[1]; } It would be great if PHP's substr() function could handle operations like this, by changing its signature accordingly, maybe to string substr (string string, mixed start [, mixed end]) -- Edit Bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=10429&edit=1 -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
