Searching in a string

[coolbeansdude51]

OK.  My first post!

 

I am hoping I am not just retarded. 

 

I need to search a string for two variables then grab the data in between.

 

This is what I am thinking so far.  Tell me if I am completely off base.

$dear = strlen('Dear');
$comma = strlen(',');
$sum = $comma - $dear;
$password = substr($body, 0); 

 

I did that but it didn't work.  Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

 

Your supreme wisdom and knowledge is needed!

 

Thanks,
