PHP List, This regular expression stuff is way tricky.Thanks to help from this list, I have an expression that will select the first word of a string, up to the first white space:"#^(.*)\s#iU"But after some consideration, I realized that I wanted to keep both parts of the original text. The first word, and then everything that came after it, should be divided and stored in separate variables.
Now, I would do this different. Probably "wrong" but instead of a regular expression here, I would do something like this:
$array = explode(" ",$string);
$first_word = $array[0];
$rest_words = substr_replace($string,"",0,strlen($first_word));
