Question

please check the following:

$email  = '[e-mail]';
$domain = strstr($email, '@');
echo $domain; // prints @example.com

Is there a way I can return @example without the .com?

So, basically I need to search a string for a set of characters which i DON’T know, which exist between a set of charaters I DO know.

So, in the following I want to return “dog”:

$string = “I used to have a pet dog named spot”;

I can get the last section of the string using:

$pet_type = strstr($string, 'pet ');

Is this possible?

Answer 1

or use 2 times explode

$email  = '[e-mail]';
        $email  = explode( '@', $email);
        $email = explode('.', $email[1]);

        $email = $email[0];
        echo $email;

returns: example
