php from string to echo
<p>I have a "big" string like <code>something here blah bla &lt;b&gt;tomato&lt;/b&gt; something else kasjd ajsd</code></p>

<p>From this I am trying to extract <code>tomato</code>.</p>

<p>What is the function to use to do this based on getting the position in the big string of the strings to the left and right of the target string?</p>

<p>so like I have:</p>

<pre><code>start: "bla &lt;b&gt;"
end: "&lt;/b&gt; some"
</code></pre>

<p>and I want what is between them in the big string...</p>
