To find the first word of a sentence, the PHP code is as follows −
Example
<?php $my_string = 'Hi there, this is a sample statement'; echo "The first word of the string is ". strtok($my_string, " "); ?>
Output
The first word of the string is Hi
A string is defined at first −
$my_string = 'Hi there, this is a sample statement';
The ‘strtok’ function is an in-built function that is used to split a string into specified number of parts. Before the first space occurs, the string needs to be split. This split string’s first part is displayed as the output on the screen −
echo "The first word of the string is ". strtok($my_string, " ");
