Search string for start and end points

[nhsal69]

Hi all,

 

I'm trying to search a string for some values..

 

These values all vary, but they are contained within a set format.

 

So I'm need to know how, for a

 

$string_data = strpos($table, "known start point" unknown bit "known end point");

 

Do you know how I should form this statement to get the Start, unknown and end all in the variable.

 

Thanks

$pattern = "/^atul(.*)singh$/i";
$text = "Atul kumar singh";
if(preg_match($pattern, $text)){
echo "Matched";
}else{
	echo "Not Matched";
}
