[SOLVED] Extracting substring

[aashcool198]

Hi,

Given a string i want to extract sub string before the first space occurs

E.g in $string="php freaks";  i want to extract the first word that is "php".

if $string = "your name"; i want to extract "your".

 

How can i do it?

[trq]

$string = "your name";
$string = explode(' ', $string, 1);
echo $string[0];
