find word

[StirCrazy]

Hi there,

 

I've used stripos to find the position of part a word. How would I find the full word?

 

EXAMPLE:

 

$string = "this is message text  text  text  text  text  text  text  text  text  text  text";

 

the full word at character position 10 is "message".

 

How word I put that full word ("message") in a variable (for use later)?

 

 

Thanks in advance.

you would use substr(), and maybe str_split() ...

 

eg:

 

$word = substr($string,strpos("mess"));
$word_arr = str_split(" ",$word);
$word = $word_arr[0];

 

perhaps,
