put words from a string as indivual items in array

[dadamssg]

I have a a sentence

 

$sentence = "The quick brown fox jumped over the gate";

 

how would put each of those words as an individual item in an array?

 

so if you print the array it would look like this

 

Array
(
    [0] => The
    [1] => quick
    [2] => brown
    [3] => fox
    [4] => jumped
    [8] => over
    [9] => the
    [10]=> gate
)

$sentence = "The quick brown fox jumped over the gate";

$sentence = explode(' ', $sentence);

echo '<pre>' . print_r($sentence, true) . '</pre>';

explode

print_r

or:

 

print_r(str_word_count("The quick brown fox jumped over the gate", 1));

Nice, never knew that function existed.

Nice, never knew that function existed.

 

It's name does tend to fool anyone (it even almost fooled me) not reading the manual properly. As it contains a format (hence the 1 in my function call) to set the type of return.

Yeh I just manual'd it lol

 

The 2nd parameter set as 2 could be useful, not in this case tho. =p
