Extract a substring between two characters in a string PHP

3065

$String = [modid=256];

$First = "=";
$Second = "]";

$id = substr($string, $First, $Second);

Thus $id would be 256

Any help would be appreciated :)

preg_match('~=(.*?)]~', $input, $output);

<?php

$str = "[modid=256]";
$from = "=";
$to = "]";

echo getStringBetween($str,$from,$to);

function getStringBetween($str,$from,$to)
{
    $sub = substr($str, strpos($str,$from)+strlen($from),strlen($str));
    return substr($sub,0,strpos($sub,$to));
}

?>
