explode() and return data

Question

I have a string like this:

:username!~tHesR5@tHesR5.users.quakenet.org

What i need out of this string is:

~tHesR5@tHesR5.users.quakenet.org

I have already got the username from the string using the following:

        $nick = explode(':',$get[0]);
        $nick = explode('!',$nick[1])
        $nick = $nick[0];

How would i do this properly to retrieve what is after the "!"?

Answer 1

Like that...

$strWhoIs = ":username!~tHesR5@tHesR5.users.quakenet.org";

$arrWhois = explode('!', $strWhoIs);
$strFirstPart = $arrWhois[0];
$strSecondPart = $arrWhois[1];

Refer to the documentation: php.net/explode
