Hello,

Here is my problem.

I need to retrieve the first word written in a text file using PHP.

I can't find out how to do it.
Can someone please give me a function to use?

Thank you in advance...

Configuration: Windows 7 / Internet Explorer 8.0

    Assuming that the words are separated by spaces... (like in a normal sentence) we can do:
    explode(' ', $text);


    For example:
    $text = file_get_contents('file.txt'); $e = explode(' ', $text); $first_word = $e[0];


    Here $e is an array that contains each word, for example by doing
    $e = explode(' ', 'this is a sentence');


    We have $e[0] = 'this', 1 = 'is', 2 = 'a' and 3 ='sentence'
