Isolating a chunk of text using php
greetings,
i'll start by stating; i am NOT looking for the EXACT syntax to my query but a simple yes or no of its possibility. and if you're feeling generous maybe the php function(s) that i'd use as a jump start. i could use bash but i really want to take a shot at doing this with php. the following output:

i need to isolate everything that is between the line of hyphens under the first occurrence of "Program" and the next empty/blank line so i can tinker with how i'm going to process those lines. is there a php function that will do that with relative ease?
thanks in advance.

for those looking to accomplish something similar here goes. i scammed the following function online and the above output as $response2. i then used the function and a few other commands to get what i needed:

Code:
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);
}

$feature_line = get_string_between($response2, '--------------------------------------------------', 'Licenses');
$feature_line = trim($feature_line);
echo $feature_line;
Mathematica             B            0           2
MathKernel              B            0           2
Sub Mathematica         B            0          16
Sub MathKernel          B            0          16

at this point i can used i can probably use preg_split, substr and trim to divide and conquer.
