Exploding artist?

Dawn of the Dude - Set Us Free

How can I explode that into just Dawn of the Dude?

Not just for that any band.. like

Kiss - Strutter
or Boys like girls - Dance hall drug?

I just tested this, it worked

PHP Code:

---

<?php
$name = $_GET['name'];
$name = explode(" - ", $name);
echo $name[0];
?>

I see that you listened to what I said :P

Done got it lol.

For normal radio stats include this in the page:

PHP Code:

---

<?
$name = explode(" - ", $song[0]);
$artist = $name[0];
$url = "album.php?artist=$artist";
$url = eregi_replace(" ", "+", $url);
$thing = file_get_contents($url);
echo "<img src=$thing>";
?>

---

Save this as album.php:

PHP Code:

---

<?php
header("Content-Type: image/gif");
$artist = $_GET['artist'];

$artist = urldecode($artist);

$url = "http://www.last.fm/music/" . $artist . "/";
$url = eregi_replace(" ", "+", $url);

$data = file_get_contents($url);

$image1start = explode('<div class="imgHolder">', $data);
$image1end = explode('</div>', $image1start[1]);
$image1 = trim($image1end[0]);

$imagestart = explode('<img src="', $image1);
$imageend = explode('" alt', $imagestart[1]);
$image = trim($imageend[0]);
echo $image;

?>
