Say I have a sentence that contains 8 words, how do I get PHP to list just 4
of those 8 words ?

Let's assume your words are delimited by one or more blanks, so you could:

$arwords = split(' ',$sentence);// make an array
$arwords = array_slice($arwords, 0, 4); // return the first 4 entries
echo join(' ', $arwords);   // and show them

[.: B i g D o g :.]

perl regex to find the ones you want and then print them out...

or you could explode then string and put each word in to one array and
access the word by the array index...

Example: 

$words = explode(  , $sentence );

for( $i = 0; $i  4; $i++ )
{
echo {$words[$i]};
}
