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

With only one expression I can think of:

echo list($a) = explode(' ', 'a b c') ? $a : '';
echo list($_, $b) = explode(' ', 'a b c') ? $b : '';
