Know how to delete characters *after* a specific character?

[jjfletch]

Hi there,

If I have "JoeSchmoe - White Sox Rock", is there a way for me to have the script remove all the characters after the "-"?

[drew010]

$string = 'JoeSchmoe - White Sox Rock';

$pos = strpos($string, '-');
if ($pos !== FALSE) {
  $string = substr($string, 0, $pos);
}

echo $string;

that will remove anything after the char if its present.
