I want to do the following:
Big chunk of text is stored in variable $a. Paragraph breaks are
signalled by two line breaks.
How big is big? 100 lines? 10,000 lines? 1,000,000 lines?
I want to just extract the first paragraph (i.e., all the text up to the
first set of two line breaks) from $a.
How would I do this?
I tried exploding $a into an array, then doing a while loop inside a for
loop, but it was taking WAY too long to execute (it was timing out).
Is there an easy way to do this that I'm just overlooking?
The easiest would be
$first_graf = substr($big_text, 0, strpos($big_text, \n\n));
The manual is your friend. There's a function for almost anything. While
you are eating your corn flakes in the morning you should be reading
through them and filing them away in your brain.
