Get the string after a string from a string

what's the fastest way to get only the important_stuff part from a string like this:

bla-bla_delimiter_important_stuff

_delimiter_ is always there, but the rest of the string can change.

Me, being a REGEX enthusiast:

if (preg_match('/.*_delimiter_(.*)/', 'bla-bla_delimiter_important_stuff', $matches)) echo $matches[1];

I like this method:

$str="bla-bla_delimiter_important_stuff";
$del="_delimiter_";
$pos=strpos($str, $del);

cutting from end of the delimiter to end of string

$important=substr($str, $pos+strlen($del)-1, strlen($str)-1);

note:

1) for substr the string start at '0' whereas for strpos & strlen takes the size of the string (starts at '1')

2) using 1 character delimiter maybe a good idea

$string = "bla-bla_delimiter_important_stuff";
list($junk,$important_stufF) = explode("_delimiter_",$string);

echo $important_stuff;
> important_stuff
