    Hello
    I have string as :
    $string="/inbox/?rfbafefaa&r3b54c457&compose&ids=645976873&refid=5";

    Lets say i wanna capture only 645976873 (Its in ids=645976873) in some variable.
    Can anyone tell me how to do that?
    Its a simple string. and generated randomly everytime. Every field will have randing numbers (/inbox/?r, &compose, &ids, &refid words always gunna b there in string) .
    I wanna know how do capture string contents starting from specific word till specific ending word?

    (P.S. Its a string and not received from any form etc. So please dont suggest me $_GET['ids'])

parse_str($str);
echo $ids;
    PHP:
    This is meant for parsing query strings like yours
