Does anyone have a PHP snippet of code for grabbing the first “sentence” in a string?

Question

If I have a description like:

\"We prefer questions that can be answered, not just discussed. Provide details. Write clearly and simply.\"

Answer 1

Try this:

$content = "My name is Younas. I live on the pakistan. My email is **fromyounas@gmail.com** and skype name is "**fromyounas**". I loved to work in **IOS development** and website development . ";

$dot = ".";

//find first dot position     

$position = stripos ($content, $dot); 

//if there's a dot in our soruce text do

if($position) { 

    //prepare offset

    $offset = $position + 1; 

    //find second dot using offset

    $position2 = stripos ($content, $dot, $offset); 

    $result = substr($content, 0, $position2);

   //add a dot

   echo $result . '.'; 

}

Output is:

My name is Younas. I live on the pakistan.
