How do I break email address into username and hostname?

The key to understanding the format of an email address is that there will be something followed by the '@' symbol and then followed by something else.

If we assume that the email address is of this format:

username@hostname then this suggests a simple solution.

That is to split the string on the '@' character like in the following example:


<?php



$myemail = "dan@mysite.com";



$parts = explode("@",$myemail);



print_r($parts);

?>

This prints:
Array
(
[0] => dan
[1] => mysite.com
)
