get_the_title and explode

    For some reason, explode is not working and just returns input string.
    Code:

    $str = get_the_title();
$arr = explode("- Episode",$str);
$res = $arr[0];
echo $res;

    For example title was “Steins;Gate – Episode 15”, it returns whole title, instead of just “Steins;Gate”. If I supply string directly -> $str='Steins;Gate - Episode 15' instead of get_the_title it works as it is supposed to. Why I’m getting this problem?

  • check if the hyphen is not html character encoded;

    test example:

    $str = get_the_title();
echo $str; //test output to check the title
$arr = explode("- Episode",$str);
$res = $arr[0];
echo $res;

    then look at the output from the html code in the browser (not just on the screen)
