I am using a wordpress post to display testimonials, using the post content as the testimonial itself and its title for displaying the person giving the testimonial, and his company. In order to separate the name of the person from his company name and thus style them differently, I used the following code:

< ?php
	$title = $post->post_title;
	$namecompany = explode("-", $title);
	echo ($namecompany[0].' - '); ?>
	< ?php echo ($namecompany[1]); ?>

As you can see, we are using the $post->post_title variable which contains the title of the post, and then using the PHP function explode to break up the title into two parts based on the dash separator.
