How to remove anything in a string after “-”?

Question

This is the example of my string.

$x = \"John Chio - Guy\";
$y = \"Kelly Chua - Woman\";

I need the pattern for the reg replace.

Answer 1

You can also use.

strstr( "John Chio - Guy", "-", true ) . '-';

The third parameter true tells the function to return everything before first occurrence of the second parameter.
