Regex, get string value between two characters

myemail@gmail.com

What is the pattern to get what's between '@' and '.' in this string? In this case it would get 'gmail'.

Regex can't reliably parse an email. What if you had the email `abc@subdomain.host.com`. The regex you request would only match subdomain when you would likely be looking for the host only (or the host and subdomain). — Bailey Parker, Jul 29 '12 at 05:32

I believe it is ...

preg_match("'@(.*?)\.'si", $source, $match);

$email = 'myemail@gmail.com';
$gmail = preg_match('/@([^\.]*)\./', $email, $m) ? $m[1] : false;
