get string between other strings function php

So it turns out that i have had this issue before of finding a string in between other strings and made a function for it that i forgot about. 

PHP

function get_string_between($string, $start, $end) {
	    $string = " ".$string;
	    $ini = strpos($string,$start);
	    if ($ini == 0) return "";
	    $ini += strlen($start);
	    $len = strpos($string,$end,$ini) - $ini;
	    return trim(substr($string,$ini,$len));
	}

$html_string = "<p><strong>Model</strong>:   Kawasaki ZZR 1400&nbsp; (ZX-14)    </p>";

$my_extracted_string = get_string_between(
	$string = $html_string, 
	$start = "<p><strong>Model</strong>:", 
      $end = "</p>"
);

echo "add it into a text area so you can see the raw string as extracted<br>";
echo "<textarea>";
echo $my_extracted_string;
echo "</textarea>";
