breaking up emails at the: @ symbol

[rakennedy75]

I am trying to figure out how to break an email up at the @ symbol.

I am having a form being sent to through html/php and want to take that email that was inserted into the form and break it.

example:

[e-mail]

from here I want to save these separate as the user name: whoever
and another field as: yahoo.com

probably a simple script.

I know how to do everything except break it at the @ symbol, any help would be aprreciated, thanks for your time.

you can do that with split()

http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.split.php

-- like:

<?php

$email = "[e-mail]";
list($username, $remainder) = split("\@", $email);

echo("

email: $email
<br>username: $username
<br>remainder: $remainder

");

?>

You could also make use of the explode function:

<?php

$email = "[e-mail]";
$emailarray = explode("@", $email);

echo "email: $email";
echo "<br>username: " . $emailarray[0];
echo "<br>remainder: " . $emailarray[1];
?>
