You could also use list($address) = explode('#', $innerRow
['PeopEmail']), which does the same thing as array_shift, but without
an extra function call.
No matter what you pick, it'll be either two inbuilt function calls or
a language construct and an inbuilt function call, so you'll probably
need a heck of a lot of iterations before you'll notice one being
marginally faster than another.
As for each one is better, that's totally a matter of taste.

Hi
I have a field in a database with
[email protected]#mailto:[email protected]# . I want to reduce it
to just the email address.
Is is better/faster to use
substr($innerRow['PeopEmail'],0,strpos($innerRow['PeopEmail'],'#'))
or
array_shift(explode('#',$innerRow['PeopEmail']))
Thanks
Steve
