get string before line break

[dadamssg87]

How do i get the first part of the string, all the way up until the string hits a line break?

 

<?php
$string = "The quick red fox\n jumped over the brown\n lazy dog.";

function first_of_string($str)
{
//php magic

return $first_of_string;

}

echo first_of_string($string); //would produce "The quick red fox"

?>

<?php
$string = "The quick red fox\n jumped over the brown\n lazy dog.";

function first_of_string($str)
{
//php magic

return strstr($first_of_string, "\n",true); // -> php 5.3.0

}

echo first_of_string($string); //would produce "The quick red fox"

?>
