Remove everything from the first occurrence of a character to the end of a string in PHP

extract, php, replace, substring

Solution

Here's one way:

$print = preg_replace('/^([^,]*).*$/', '$1', $print);

Another:

list($print) = explode(',', $print);

Or:

$print = explode(',', $print)[0];

Problem

I want to remove everything (including the comma) from the first comma of a string in PHP. For example, ``` $print = "50 days,7 hours"; ``` should become ``` 50 days ```
