Use substr[1] to get from the start of the string to the point you want.
The point you want is @ , indentified by strpos[2].
[1] http://www.php.net/substr
[2] http://www.php.net/strpos
So
$name = substr($email, 0, strpos($email, '@'));
should get you fairly close to what you want. Might need to increment or
decrement the result of strpos, I can't recall, to avoid getting the @ symbol
or get the last char of the name.
Or you could
$array = explode('@', $email); // Ka-BOOM!
$name = $array[0];
