a function from VB to PHP[solved]

[kill_bill_gates]

hi, can somebody convert the VB code below to php

Private Function Between(Begining As String, Ending As String, TextToLookIn As String) As String
Dim Be, En, TTLI As String
Be = Begining
En = Ending
TTLI = TextToLookIn
TTLI = Right(TTLI, Len(TTLI) - (InStr(1, TTLI, Be) + Len(Be) - 1))
Between  = Left(TTLI, InStr(1, TTLI, En) - 1)
End Function

What does it do?

[kill_bill_gates]

it returns the string value between "Beginning" and "Ending" variables, in the given text.

So if I have a string:

$str = 'This is a test string with some random words';

echo(Between('test', 'random', $str)); 

The ouput would be:

"string with some" ?

[kill_bill_gates]

yes
can you do it in PHP?

Done:

    function between($start, $end, $string)
    {
        $pos1 = strpos($string, $start) + strlen($start);
        $pos2 = strpos($string, $end) - 1;

        return substr($string, $pos1, $pos2 - $pos1 + 1);
    } 

I'll let you decide its behviour if one or both the search strings are not found.

Bill Gates killer, that is in PHP... just add the
<?
?>

tags to it...
