How can you extract specific strings from a long string in PHP?

When you need to extract specific strings from a long string in PHP, you can use functions like `strpos()` and `substr()` to find the position of the substring and extract it accordingly. You can also use regular expressions with `preg_match()` to extract strings that match a specific pattern. 

// Long string
$longString = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.";

// Extracting a specific substring
$substring = substr($longString, strpos($longString, "consectetur"), strpos($longString, "adipiscing") - strpos($longString, "consectetur") + strlen("adipiscing"));
echo $substring; // Output: consectetur adipiscing
