Removing Certain Text from String in PHP

I am trying to trim a string in PHP so that I can only get certain text from the String.

I have an email stored to a String for instance [email protected] .

How can I remove the text after the '@' so that I would only 'some_name'?

echo trim($str1,"World");

You should know both ways to do this:

substr

$mail = "[email protected]";
echo substr($mail, 0, strpos($mail, '@') );

explode

list($name, $domain) = explode('@', $mail);
echo $name;

If you don't need the $domain you can skip it:

list($name) = explode('@', $mail);

In PHP you can do :

$string = '[email protected]';
$res = explode('@', $string);
echo $res[0];

Or you can use regexp, string functions in php ... etc

$str = '[email protected]';
$strpos = strpos($str, "@");
echo $email = substr($str, 0,$strpos);

you can try this to get string before @

String s = "[email protected]";
String name = s.substring(0,s.indexOf("@");

You could try split using regex and the @ symbol. This will return two Strings which you can then use just to acquire the 'some_name'.
