The key to your secret is called regular expression.
<?
$email = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
if( eregi( "^([^@]+)@([^@]+)$", $email, $match)) {
$email_user = $match[1];
$email_domain = strtolower( $match[2]);
echo "$email_user at $email_domain";
} else
echo "bad email";
?>
Note, this does not validate if the email is correct; if you need
this, take a look at php.net, some of the manual comments talk
about email validaten ( whereupon methinks Tom Christiansen email
verifier [written in perl] is still the best validator).
hope this helps
