Extracting data from string.

[haku87]

Hi.

How am i going to extract the number in the < >.

 

Eg.

a. Testing <3>

 

How to get the 3 out from this string?

[Barand]

<?php 
$str = 'a. Testing <3>';

$x = strpos($str,'<') + 1;
$y = strpos($str, '>', $x);

echo substr ($str, $x, $y-$x);
?>

another option

 

<?php
$string = "a. Testing <3>";
$patten = "<(.+)>";
ereg($patten, $string, $found);

echo $found[1];
?> 

[Glyde]

<?php
$string ="a. Testing <3>";
preg_match("@<(\d+)>@", $string, $match);
print $match[1];
?>

Barand's method would be the fastest, however
