The explode function is utilized to "Split a string into pieces of elements to form an array". The explode function in PHP enables us to break a string into smaller content with a break. This break is known as the delimiter.
explode() is a built in function in PHP used to split a string in different strings. The explode() function splits a string based on a string delimiter, i.e. it splits the string wherever the delimiter character occurs. This functions returns an array containing the strings formed by splitting the original string.
Both are used to split a string into an array, but the difference is that split() uses pattern for splitting whereas explode() uses string. explode() is faster than split() because it doesn't match string based on regular expression.
The explode() function breaks a string into an array, but the implode function returns a string from the elements of an array.
you could use stristr for this:
$foo = stristr($foo,":",true);
where true sets it to give you everything before the first instance of ":"

As an alternative to list(), you may use array_shift()
$foo = array_shift(explode(':', $foo));
