Hi, I am pulling email values out of a database and the format is as follows: John Smith<john.smith@somedomain.com> I need to parse the string into two variables as such $name = John Smith $email = john.smith@somedomain.com What would be the easiest way to do this?

[kadmin@archangel][~/scripts] cat split <?php $data="John Smith<js@foo.com>"; list($name,$email)=explode("<",str_replace(">","",$data)); echo "$name's email address is $email"; ?> [37] Sun 07.Mar.2010 0:27:40 [kadmin@archangel][~/scripts] php split John Smith's email address is js@foo.com Throw in a foreach() and some data writes or w/e, and you're done.
