Subject: [PHP] string questions


 I know there has to be an easy way to do this, but I just can't find the
 answer.  I need to strip out the first part of a text string.  I've
 figured out out to strip out the last part of a string using the
 following:
 
 $address = (4455 N. 45th St.);
 
 $test = strstr($address,  );
 echo $test;
 
 The variable $test returns N. 45th St. without the 4455.  Is there a way
 to reverse this so I can just return 4455?

Use strpos() to find the position of the first space then substr() to extract 
from beginning to the space.

Use function explode, preg_split, split to split the text string.

$pieces = explode( , $address);
echo $pieces[0]; // will output 4455
