Select from pos 0 to ':'

[ticatoc]

Hello,

I have a variable $var that is like that :

$var = blah.blah...: blibli bli bli...

I 'd like to select only the part of my $var before the ":". This part could have a different size.

I don't know how to do that in php. Could you help me please :)?

That's exactly what I 'm looking for. Thanks!

[Habtom]

. . . then you have the split :)

Okay, I think I get it now :). Thanks!
