Split string on a delimiting character into two variables

Question

Sample input:

$word = '[email protected]';

Can I make variables to contain everything up to the "@" and everything after?

Desired result:

$one = 'abcdefg';
$two = 'hijk.lmn';

Answer 1

use explode.

$word = '[email protected]';
$my_array = explode('@', $word);
echo $my_array[0]; // prints "abcdefg"
echo $my_array[1]; // prints "hijk.lmn"
