If you need to extract the username from an e-mail address string then this snippet can help you. For instance, you can use this function inside a loop, while selecting emails from a database.

<?php
function getUsernameFromEmail($email)
{
$find = '@';
$pos = strpos($email, $find);

$username = substr($email, 0, $pos);

return $username;
}

$email = 'thecoder@domain.com';

$username = getUsernameFromEmail($email);

echo $username; // thecoder
?>
