Split up a string

[wemustdesign]

I have names stored in a single column in my databse in the format:

 

John Smith

 

How would I format this to just output the first name as:

 

John

You can split a string by a delimiter using explode.

<?php
$str = "John Smith";
$str = explode( " " , $str );
echo $str[0]; // John
echo $str[1]; // Smith
?>
