Splitting strings

PHP
1

What if I have a string like these?

DANIEL JOHNS - GUITARIST - SILVERCHAIR

And I want to get just the word GUITARIST
from the string? How I supposed to do it?

Will I do 2 strpos?

Actually I tried 2 strpos already but on the second one, the dash is still there. so I got
the position of the first “-” again, thus generating an error.

or there is a shorter way to do it?

Thanks guys

You could try this:


$str = 'DANIEL JOHNS - GUITARIST - SILVERCHAIR';
$segm = explode('-', $str);
$word = trim($segm[1]);

This will get you the second section of the string delimited by -.

You could also use substr() but then you have to know exactly from which to which position you need to extract the word.
