Extract substring from string using php

Question

I need to extract a substring from another string using php.

$string = 'This is my string that conteined a Code:XYZ123';
$code = substr($text, -1, strpos($string,'Code:'));
echo $code ; // return 3

I need the whole code for example XYZ123

You need the starting position of "Code:" plus the length of "Code:"

$string = 'This is my string that conteined a Code:XYZ123'; 
$code = substr($string, strpos($string,'Code:') + 5); 
echo $code; //XYZ123

Another option is to explode the string my Code: and echo the second part of the array

$code = explode( 'Code:', $string );
echo $code[ 1 ]

Try this code :

$string = 'This is my string that conteined a Code:XYZ123';
$code = substr($string ,strpos($string,'Code:'));
echo $code;

Make sure this is helpful to you.

The output to this is Code:XYZ123

Yeah he wants the actual code. Not 'Code:' plus the code
