如何使用PHP在特殊字符内子串？

Question

I need to sub-string the value within some special character using PHP. I am explaining the original string below.

"name=G%20+%20l&cid=20"

In the above string I need the value within name= to next &.

Answer 1

Try this:

$string = "name=G%20+%20l&cid=20";
$explode_string = explode("&", $string);

$explode_string2 = explode("name=", $explode_string[0]);
echo array_pop($explode_string2);

Output will be like:

G%20+%20l
