Hi i was looking to find an exact php equivalent of this java code
List<String> strings = Arrays.asList(tempFinalString.replaceAll("^.*?>&", "")
.split("<.*?(>&|$)"));
This gives an array which contain all the characters between the two characters ?> and <
Can anybody help me to find its exact php equivalent?
I searched a lot please help

And change your code like this,
preg_match_all("#<abc([^<]+)>#", $yourstring, $ansvariable);
//echo implode("::", $ansvariable[1]);
foreach($yourstring[1] as $key => $val){
echo $yourstring[1][$key]."<br>"; // prints $val
}
You can use regex for this
<?php
function getInbetweenStrings($start, $end, $str){
$matches = array();
$regex = "/$start([a-zA-Z0-9_]*)$end/";
preg_match_all($regex, $str, $matches);
return $matches[1];
}
$str = "<asdfasf?>dsdafs<asfasdfasf?>";
$str_arr = getInbetweenStrings('<', '\?>', $str);
print_r($str_arr);
The quite similar question is this one: Get substring between two strings PHP
EDIT
Of course for different arguments you need to change the function arguments :-)
$str = "<abcasdfasf>dsdafs<abcsfasdfasf>";
$str_arr = getInbetweenStrings('<abc', '>', $str);
print_r($str_arr);
Also be aware that the code will split the string that contains only specific characters - [a-zA-Z0-9_].
Consider learning regular expression first a bit.
Cheers!
< and ?> but not working for <abc and >, please help i want this type of spliting and filtering not for single characters
