extracting account info from email string

[cfdeveloper]

hi there,

I want to extract the account or username in an email address (anything before the @ sign).

ie.

• [e-mail] or
• [e-mail]

how do I just extract the string "darthvader" or "bruce.wayne".

thank you.

echo substr($email, 0, (strpos($email, '@') - 1));

thank you... i knew it had something to do with one or more string functions and positioning.
