How to trim the right part of the text and display the results

Question

I have an html code which displays user email from php. However i want to trim this part @gmail.com And display the left part.

Currently I tried this code which is not working.

<p id="p1"><?php
 $str = ""
 echo $str . "<br>";
 echo trim($str,"@gmail.com");
 echo htmlspecialchars($_SESSION["username"]);
?></p>

What is the best way to correct it?

For example the email from php database is name1@gmail.com, i want to remove @gmail.com and display only name1

`str_replace("@gmail.com", "", $string);` assuming it's always "@gmail.com" — Mech, Jul 11 '20 at 18:22

trim() is not the best choice. Simply split email by @:

$expl = explode('@', $str);
echo $expl[0];

The comments in https://stackoverflow.com/a/18235986/1213708 suggest that this may not work with every e-mail address. – Nigel Ren Jul 11 '20 at 18:41
Elitte: replace your trim line with my code. – Marcin Orlowski Jul 11 '20 at 18:43
Do you mean my code will have to look like this:
