How to get a substring from string through PHP?

I want to change the displayed username from [email protected] to only abcd. For this, I should clip the part starting from @.

I can do this very easily through variablename.substring() function in Java or C#, but I m not aware with the syntax of PHP.

Suppose I'm having variable like:

$username = "[email protected]";
$username = {some string manipultion function}
echo $username; // abcd

Use strtok().

$username = strtok($email, '@');

Use strstr function.

An example from the PHP reference - 

<?php
    $email  = '[email protected]';
    $domain = strstr($email, '@');
    echo $domain; // prints @example.com

    $user = strstr($email, '@', true); // As of PHP 5.3.0
    echo $user; // prints name
?>
