How can I cut the string before '(' sign with php
For example: $a = "abc dec g (gold)";
How can I cut the string become only "abc dec g"??
I tried to used this strstr($a, '(', true) but error display.

The trim() function removes whitespace and other predefined characters from both sides of a string. Related functions: ltrim() - Removes whitespace or other predefined characters from the left side of a string. rtrim() - Removes whitespace or other predefined characters from the right side of a string.
Use the substring() method to get the substring before a specific character, e.g. const before = str. substring(0, str. indexOf('_')); . The substring method will return a new string containing the part of the string before the specified character.
You could do this, using explode:
list($what_you_want,) = explode('(', $str, 2);
Or you could also do this, using substr and strpos:
$what_you_want = substr($str, 0, strpos($str, '('));
The reason you got the error using strstr is because the last argument is not available unless you have PHP 5.3.0 or later.

$a=substr($a, 0, strpos($a, '('));
