strstr

Find first occurrence of a string (PHP 3, PHP 4 )
string strstr ( string haystack, string needle )

Returns part of haystack string from the first occurrence of needle to the end of haystack.

If needle is not found, returns FALSE.

If needle is not a string, it is converted to an integer and applied as the ordinal value of a character.

Note:

This function is case-sensitive. For case-insensitive searches, use stristr().

Example 963. strstr() example

copy to clipboard
<?php
$email = 'user@example.com';
$domain = strstr($email, '@');
print $domain; // prints @example.com
?>
Note:

If you only want to determine if a particular needle occurs within haystack, use the faster and less memory intensive function strpos() instead.
