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'?

@Kushan Sorry, I realized I put the wrong tag after I posted it. Too much of Android and PHP at the same time.DroidMatt– DroidMatt2012-02-15 07:48:08 +00:00Commented Feb 15, 2012 at 7:48

In PHP you can do :
$string = '[email protected]';
$res = explode('@', $string);
echo $res[0];
Or you can use regexp, string functions in php ... etc

hello, how can I convert the res into a string?
mlinuxgada
you can assign the first array element to a variable:
$name = $res[0]; echo $name;You should know both ways to do this:
$mail = "[email protected]";
echo substr($mail, 0, strpos($mail, '@') );
list($name, $domain) = explode('@', $mail);
echo $name;
If you don't need the $domain you can skip it:
list($name) = explode('@', $mail);
More about list.

$str = '[email protected]';
$strpos = strpos($str, "@");
echo $email = substr($str, 0,$strpos);
you can try this to get string before @

Try This
$str1 = "Hello World";
echo trim($str1,"World");

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'.

Was this question originally tagged with "java" or something? cause few of the answers so far have anything to do with PHP...

Sorry, it was my mistake. I changed the tags! But this is useful as well! Thanks!
