Shortcut for: $foo = explode(“ ”, “bla ble bli”); echo $foo[0]

Question

is there a way to get the n-th element of a splitted string without using a variable?

My PHP code always looks like this:

$foo = explode(\" \", \"bla         


        

Answer 1

Why not just do:

function splode($string, $delimiter, $index){
 $r = explode($delimiter, $string);
 return $r[$index];
}

I use like a hojillion little functions like this.
