I don't have a problem, this website exists for answering errors in programming/scripting. Not a place to ask "I need to do X" without showing any research effort or code sample of what was tried. Key point being effort. I found a duplicate question [here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5941832/php-using-regex-to-get-substring-of-a-string) — user4317867, Dec 25 '15 at 18:50

Just split on @ and get the first part ?

$id = array_shift( explode("@", " - [email protected]") );

Thanks adeneo. I found the solution like this - strtok('[email protected]', '@'); – asela daskon Dec 25 '15 at 17:28
Simply just select array key. But array_shift sounds good option. +1 – Utkarsh Dixit Dec 25 '15 at 17:30
Well, I guess `strtok` works as well, but my limited PHP knowledge is that `explode` is meant for splitting strings by strings, while `split` accepts a regex, and `strtok` creates tokens. – adeneo Dec 25 '15 at 17:33

It's Simple explode it.

<?php
$id = explode('@',[email protected])[0];
echo $id;
?>

Hope this helps you
