Extracting Specific String Values

Hi,

How would I extract specific data from a string? For example:

<?
$string= "Name: Bob<br>
Age: 5 Years Old<br>
Likes: None<br>";
?>

PHP:

That as an example, how would I get "5 Years Old" on its own when I specified "Age:" in the PHP code? For example, if I specified to the script to pick out "Age:", it would out put: "5 Years Old".

Any help is GREATLY appreciated!

 

could just use something like explode

$a = explode("Name: ",$string);
$b = explode("<br>",$a[0]);
echo $b[0]; //this should return bob

bit dirty however should work

 

Yup or you can use regex using preg_match

 

Or you could use substr() to provide the range of characters to return. Quicker and more efficient than explode and regex.
