@leleutdApr 20.2005 — While you could do a regular expression replacement, I take it to mean that you would like to extract the username and domain from the string. Here's how you would do that:

<?php

$email = "[email protected]";

$at_location = strpos($email, "@");

$dot_location = strrpos($email, ".");

$len = strlen($email);

$username = substr($email, 0, $at_location);
$domain = substr($email, $at_location + 1, $dot_location - $at_location - 1);
$tld = substr($email, $dot_location + 1, $len - $dot_location);

echo "User: $usernametDomain: $domaintTLD: $tldn";
?>

HTH,

Travis

@JonaApr 20.2005 — [font=Trebuchet MS]Why use a regular expression? If you include the regular expression overhead engine, you increase the processing time of your page. Optimally, you would use the [/font][font=courier new]str_replace()[/font][font=trebuchet MS] function.[/font]

[code=php]
<?php
$str = '[email protected]';
$str = str_replace (array('@','.'), array('',''), $str);
?>
[/code]

Or even:
[code=php]
<?php
$str = '[email protected]';
$str = str_replace (array('@','.'), '', $str);
?>
[/code]

@webgovernorApr 21.2005 — Well, if it's any help, I vote

for either preg_replace() or str_replace()...
