Hi,

I am pulling email values out of a database and the format is as follows:

John Smith<john.smith [at] somedomain.com>

I need to parse the string into two variables as such

$name = John Smith
$email = john.smith [at] somedomain.com

What would be the easiest way to do this?

Thanks.

You may want to take a look at the MIME parser package. It comes with a
separate class name RFC 822 addresses that can be used exactly to parse
e-mail addresses in any valid format that may appear in message headers:

[kadmin [at] archangel][~/scripts] cat split
<?php
$data="John Smith<js [at] foo.com>";
list($name,$email)=explode("<",str_replace(">","",$data));
echo "$name's email address is $email";
?>

[kadmin [at] archangel][~/scripts] php split
John Smith's email address is js [at] foo.com

Throw in a foreach() and some data writes or w/e, and you're done.
