I can’t find the documentation that indicates how to do it. I am dynamically displaying a part of a post description in the search results from my website.
Example:
JavaScript
x
<?php
$extract = "Include all the information someone would need to answer your question.";
$search = "format";
$num = stripos($extract,$search);
$to_show = substr($extract,$num, 17);
echo $to_show;
?>
Result:
JavaScript
formation someone
I would like to be able to show “information” and not “formation”. Any suggestion?

Answer
Actually regular expressions work nicely for your particular problem. Search for w*formatw*
using preg_match_all
:
JavaScript
$extract = "Include all the information someone would need to answer your question.";
preg_match_all("/w*formatw*/", $extract, $matches);
print_r($matches[0]);
This prints:
JavaScript
Array
(
[0] => information
)
