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

Not as far as I know although you could define a function and use that.

function firstWord($string) {
  $foo = explode(" ", $string);
  return $string;
}
