I cannot delete a range of words in a string

I made a function in PHP that returns the result of a POST and converts to a string using Curl. However, my code returns a lot of useless information. I wanted to manipulate the string so that I could erase all the useless information and leave only what is useful, ie, delete everything that comes before the word " </SCRIPT>" in string.

I’m putting a piece of string that I receive (there is much more information before that). I wanted my string to be equal to what is contained in the interval between <dt><b><font color="maroon">como</font></b> and </table>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE='JavaScript1.1'><!--
  var objForm = document.theform;
  var index = 0;
  objForm.text.value="como n\u00e3o amar uma pessoa t\u00e3o linda";

  objForm.text.focus();
  checkIt(objForm.parser, 'parse');

  checkIt(objForm.visual, 'niceline');

function getIndex(elemID, testValue){
  for(i=0; i<elemID.length; i++){
    if (elemID[i].value == testValue)
      return i;
  }
  return 0;
}

function checkIt(element, value) {
  if (element.length==1 || element.type=="checkbox"){
    element.checked=1;
    element.selected=1;
  }
  else if (element.length>1){
    index = getIndex(element, value);
    element[index].selected=1;
    element[index].checked=1;
  }
}
//-->

php string curl

The @Will solution looks good, but she takes what’s inside the tags and, I made a simpler solution using:

replace : To catch a substring;
strpos : To find the position of a substring.

Stayed like this:

$str = "abc</SCRIPT>defgh";
$pos = "</SCRIPT>";

$rest = substr($str, strpos($str,$pos)+ strlen($pos));  // retorna "defgh"

  • Vlw Celso this is exactly what I needed
