Finding What Is In Between 2 Values (similar to str_replace)

[markduce]

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

You can use regular expressions:

preg_match_all('/\[link\](.*)\[\/link\]/',$string,$matches);

You will find the result in the $matches array.

PS. Is there a way that I can mark this as solved or do moderators do that?

You can mark it as solved but to be honest I have no idea where that is
