My string looking like the below:
Harvard researchers develop platinum-free solid-oxide fuel cells, which could be reliable and cheap enough for mobile technology.

From the above string i only want the first line of it, ie:"Harvard researchers develop platinum-free solid-oxide fuel cells, which开发者_开发百科 could be reliable and cheap enough for mobile technology."
Rest all is not required.
To do so, I have tried:
$description = split(' \n', $string);
$description = split('<', $string);
$description = split('. ', $string);
But none of them gives me the required result, which would be only the first line, without and spaces or lines after the full-stop.
Can some one plz help me with this.
Also, if someone could edit my text, as i am unable to paste my example string, as it actually is.
Regards Zeeshan
In regex the dot character is a special character, you would need to escape it :
$description = split('\.', $string);
Also, split seems to be deprecated, you should be using preg_split: http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-split.php
Something like:
$description = current(explode("\n", $string));
should work fine. Pay special attention to the double instead of single quotes.
If you're doing more of this kind of parsing, you should consider a HTML parser, such as a simplehtmldom.
