explode() in one line

[rondog]

I tried to do this:

explode(" ",$cp['size'])[0]

 

and it isn't working obviously. The reason I want it in one line is its in the middle of a big string and I'd like to keep all the code in one area. Is their a right way to do that other than setting it to a variable first?

I found this to work

stristr($cp['size']," ",true)

 

Except its php 5.3.0+ so I am still looking for another solution

The most recent comments on php.net are advising how to emulate for pre 5.3.

Same with:

Use it to emulate the before_needle php V5.3 :

 

<?php
//$h = haystack, $n = needle
if($pos=stripos($h,$n)) $string=substr($h,0,$pos);
?>
