I have the following string
$s = "hellomyname";
$result = ...
How can I get the "my" out of this the fastest way possible?

Answer 1

You have to find the position of ((my)) in your string with strpos() function and then fetch the word with substr().
here is an example:
<?php
$s1 = 'laldkfjamydnadjacv zdvzkv';
$pos = strpos($s1, 'my');
echo 'First Position---> ' . $pos;
$my1 = substr($s1, $pos, 2);
echo '<br /> this is result---> ' . $my1;
//second test
$s2 = 'hellomyname';
$pos2 = strpos($s2, 'my');
echo '<br />Second position---> ' . $pos2;
$my2 = substr($s2, $pos2, 2);
echo '<br />this is second result---> ' . $my2;
?>
and this is result:
First Position---> 8
this is result---> my
Second position---> 5
this is second result---> my

Answer 2

I think you're looking for substr($s, 5, 2).

Answer 3

Explode (Delimiter, text)
In your case can use:
$result = explode('my', 'hellomyname'); // array([0] => 'hello', [1] => 'name');
If you need get the last value you can put end():
$result = end(explode('my', 'hellomyname')); //name
