  The following php function parsed and return the string between [tag] and [/tag]:

  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) - $ini; 
      return substr($string,$ini,$len); 
  } 
   
  $fullstring = "this is my [tag]house[/tag]"; 
  $parsed = get_string_between($fullstring, "[tag]", "[/tag]"); 
   
  echo $parsed; // (result = house)
