php - Capture text between two strings -

i'm trying capture string in text field , between 2 other strings.

• start string: {"website":"
• end string: ","referrer":"

the complete string this:

• {"website":"www.domain.com","referrer":"invited on google+"}
• or:
• {"website":"www.anotherdomain.com","referrer":""}
• or perhaps:
• {"website":"www.about.me/subdomain","referrer":""}

i need capture between start , end string , have been trying various string methods mixed results.

the start , end string same.

any suggestions...?

that called json array , can converted in php array json_decode function.

$json = '{"website":"www.domain.com","referrer":"invited on google+"}'; $info_array = json_decode($json, true); echo $info_array['website']; 

you not need preg_match, string split or other stuff.
