In the previous note, the example will only extract from the string, words separated by exactly one
space. To properly extract words from all strings, use regular expressions.
Example (extracting the first 4 words):
<?php
$string = "One two three four five six";
echo implode(" ", array_slice(preg_split("/\s+/", $string), 0, 4));
?>
The above $string would not have otherwise worked when using the explode() method below.
