 |
|
Im trying to write code which:
-finds the first occurance of ... ("..." is a sentance).
-Somehow takes the sentance from between the bbcode, and stores it in another variable
I was initially thinking of explode(), however the start and ending 'tokens' are different.
Any ideas?

It sounds like a job for a regular expression.

If you can identify the end point as well, then use substr(string, start, length)
Find the start position s, the end position e
newString = substr(oldString, s+1, e-s)
