[PHP] Showing only part of string
Hi List, $string = This is a test string to titleSHOW ONLY THIS BIT/title of the string; I have tried strpos, str_replace and other string manipulation things but I cant get my head around how to achieve showing the text with the title/title tags of the string. Any help is appreciated and I thank you in advance for any help given. Thank you Dave Carrera --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

Re: [PHP] Showing only part of string
I guess the easiest way to do this would be to use a regular
expression:
if (preg_match(/title(.*)\/title/i, $string, $m)) {
$found = $m[1];
}
echo $found;

Even though you're executing more code with this solution, it'll be faster than preg_match() (go ahead and benchmark it). -- ---John Holmes...
