howto cut a text after a "."

[kumschick]

hello,

I have a username "administrator.test". I want a funtion that filters everything after "administrator".

this means -> "administrator.test" gets "administrator".

witch fonction may I use? I wanted to use chop() but with chop() you can't define the filter everything out from the "." on.

may someone help me?

One way is to [man]explode/man the string and use the first element of the array obtained.

Another way is to use [man]strpos/man to find the location of the first period and take the [man]substr/man of the string until (but excluding) that period.

Yet another way is to use regular expressions.

list($rank,$username) = explode(".",$username-here);
