将全名汇总为短名称。

Question

I've a problem in my website (built with PHP script), I want to to summarize full name student ex: "Ahmad Najib Fuadi" from database to short name "A.N. Fuadi" in my website:

I already have database like this :

|    FNAME     |   LNAME  |
|--------------|----------|
|  Ahmad Najib |   Fuadi  |

I have tried with code like this:

 <tbody>
<?php if($query):foreach($query as $post):?>    
    <tr>
        <td class="center"><?php echo $post->FNAME; ?></td>
        <td class="center"><?php echo $post->LNAME ?></td>
    </tr>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<?php endif;?>
</tbody>

I got no idea to short First Name (FNAME)

Thanks

Why not use a regex?

<tbody>
<?php if($query): foreach($query as $post): ?>    
    <tr>
        <td class="center"><?php echo preg_replace('/(.)[^\s]+\s?/', '${1}.', strtoupper($post->FNAME)); ?></td>
        <td class="center"><?php echo $post->LNAME; ?></td>
    </tr>
<?php endforeach; endif; ?>
</tbody>
