    Hey ,

    Lets say I have userid=123-456-765

    How can I put in variable only the " 123 " it can be also 12345 , I mean how can I take all numbers from start until the first "-" and put them in a variable.

    Thank you in advance for your help !

$userid = '123-456-765';
$parts = explode('-', $userid);
print_r($parts)
    Code (markup):

$num = explode('-', $userid);
$newid = $num[0];
echo $newid;
