Get Between Values in string PHP 5.5

So I had this function to get between 2 values in a string

function get_string_between2($string, $start, $end){
    $string = " ".$string;
    $ini = strpos($string,$start);
    if ($ini == 0) return "";
    $ini += strlen($start);
    $len = strpos($string,$end,$ini) - $ini;
    return substr($string,$ini,$len);
}

Then, in order to get support for a newer feature, I upgraded to 5.5. Now my function doesn't work. Are there any other ways to do this that are confirmed to work in this new version?

You should test the result of strpos for Boolean FALSE before proceeding in your code; testing $ini == 0 is not sufficient.

See the big warning here: http://php.net/manual/en/function.strpos.php
