PHP Substr() Between Two Character Positions

Hey Everyone. I am trying to create a script that converts a SOAP protocol xml file into a readable table of information to be transferred to a pdf document. At the moment, I have three different types of records that need to be totaled and recorded. the SOAP format is as follows:


ns2:Instance>
ns2:MetricTypeft_html</ns2:MetricType>
ns2:Count0</ns2:Count>
</ns2:Instance>
-ns2:Instance
ns2:MetricTypeft_pdf</ns2:MetricType>
ns2:Count0</ns2:Count>
</ns2:Instance>
-ns2:Instance
ns2:MetricTypeft_total</ns2:MetricType>
ns2:Count0</ns2:Count>
</ns2:Instance>


What I am strying to do is retrieve the numbers between the count tags. I have currently made two arrays that store the character positions on the left and right sides of that value, but I am not sure of how to retrieve the character between those two positions. For now I am only working on the html Metric Type. The PHP code is below and any help is appreciated.

[php]

<?php $x=1; //Requestor Information $xml = simplexml_load_file("J1.xml"); $Info = $xml->children("soap", true)->Body-> children("ns3", true)->ReportResponse-> children()->Requestor; foreach ($Info as $info) { echo $info->ID, "
