as I am new to php, and after googling :) I still could not find what I wanted to do.
I have been able to find start and end position in string that i want to extract but most of the example use strings or characters or integers to get string between but I could not find string bewteen two positions.
For example: $string = "This is a test trying to extract"; $pos1 = 9; $pos2 = 14;
Then I get lost. I need to get the text between position 9 and 14 of of the string. Thanks.

Syntax: $arr=explode(separator, string). This will return an array which will contain the string split on the basis of the separator. Split the list on the basis of the starting word.
The substr() and strpos() function is used to remove portion of string after certain character. strpos() function: This function is used to find the first occurrence position of a string inside another string. Function returns an integer value of position of first occurrence of string.
substr in PHP is a built-in function used to extract a part of the given string. The function returns the substring specified by the start and length parameter. It is supported by PHP 4 and above.
How do I find a specific word in a string? Answer: Use the PHP strpos() Function You can use the PHP strpos() function to check whether a string contains a specific word or not. The strpos() function returns the position of the first occurrence of a substring in a string.
$startIndex = min($pos1, $pos2);
$length = abs($pos1 - $pos2);
$between = substr($string, $startIndex, $length);
You can use substr() to extract part of a string. This works by setting the starting point and the length of what you want to extract.
So in your case this would be:
$string = substr($string,9,5); /* 5 comes from 14-9 */
