strstr() function-reg

[kumaraswamy.dapa]

Hi all,I'am Kumara Swamy newer to the PHP World....

 

can any one tel me the use of '&' Symbol in php?

 

i write a program by  using strstr() function like below.

 

 

 

<?php

$st="kumar@techsoft.com";

$res=strstr($st,"@&srt.com");

 

echo $res;

 

?>

 

 

Why I'm didn't get anything as a result?

& is for referencing variables.

what exactly are you truing to do? remove the @ and the domain name from the string?

easiest way (to understand) is to use explode:

<?php
$st="kumar@techsoft.com";
$res=explode("@",$st);
echo $res[0];
?>

 

Explode() breaks up your string where it finds the @ symbol, and returns an array with the parts.
