What you want is to get the first name before the first blank space. In PHP there are a few ways to do this. The simplest and most common solution to this problem is using EXPLODE ( link ).

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 in the array.

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