I have a table that saves me users and their data, name and saved in a single field. What I want is to take a name from the database for example César Sousa and show only César I am using Laravel 5.4 and rescues the user name through {{Session::get('nome')}} which is a secret I keep when I log in. I wanted the time I get the username in the Blade template to show me the first name before the first space.

What you want is to get the first name before the first white space. In PHP there are a few ways to do this. The simplest and most common solution to this problem is using EXPLODE (http://php.net/manual/en/function.explode.php).

This method transforms a string into an array, separating each part of the array from a substring.

Example:

explode(' ', 'Carlos Souza de Azevedo'); // ['Carlos', 'Souza', 'de', 'Azevedo']

In this scenario, you want to get the first name. That is, you want to get the first item of the array.

$nomes = explode(' ', 'Carlos Souza de Azevedo');
$primeiroNome = $nomes[0]; // 'Carlos'

  • I had to test I am using I used the explode when showing the name of the user that resgato a Sesssion but it does not work I error when opening the page
