how can I get the first 25 words of a paragraph? I know i could use explod(string, " ") then run a for loop to combine the first 25, but theres probally a much simplier way.

The
str-word-count could be of help

or maybe a regular expression?
Code: Select all
^(\w+[\.,-?/{[}\]<>=_`~]?\w*\s){1,25}

have a look at
strlen(),
strpos(), and
stristr(). you could also gain a little perspective from
list() and
each().
