Question

Ok to be clear ill give an example

$email  = '[e-mail]';
$domain = strstr($email, '@');
echo $domain; // prints @example.com

$user = strstr($email, '@', true); // As of PHP 5.3.0
echo $user; // prints name

as it says, it prints what before ‘@’ using true, and blank to print what follows @

im looking for a function to print @ itself by giving it 2 strings and grab what between them

like this

  $string= 'someXthing';
  $tograb = phpfunction("some","thing");
  echo $tograb; // should be printing X

^ this doesnt work, im just writing it to explain

Answer 1

I dont know of a native function that does that but you can use regular expression

$string= 'someXthing';
preg_match("/some(.*)thing/",$string,$matches);
var_dump($matches[1]);
