General PHP Question - Showing only first Word

Hi, I am working on JoomDonation for my companies website, we have a what i wish program where our volunteer engineers will custom-design or modify items for people with disabilities. We are using this component to try to get support for each individual project (campaign) to support cost of this.

Anyway, what I am trying to do is take the Campaign Title:

<?php echo $item->title; ?> and alter this code to show only the first word out of the campaign title.

All Campaign's start with the child's name (Brennon's Swing, Yisroel's Voice Modulation Helper ) if I can figure out how to get Child's Name out of the title (the first word) i can then have the Donate Button say something like Help Make Brennon's Wish Come True. Right now all I can do is get it to show the entire campaign title.

If anyone could help me unlock this mystery (I don't know all that much coding) I would greatly appreciate it.

Hi

You can use explode function in PHP ( php.net/manual/en/function.explode.php ). The sample code for getting the first word could be :
