减去文本的第一句并回显它，然后回显剩余的文本

Question

$content = 'this is a small text';
$content = preg_replace('/\s+?(\S+)?$/', '', substr($content, 0, 100)); // i substract the first 100 chars from the text - only whole words
echo $content;

Is there a way to substract the first sentence in the text and echo it? Lets say untill the text reachers a "." or a "?" or a "!" ?

And then echo the remaining part of the text?

Thank you

Answer 1

A pattern something like (.*?[?.!]) will match the first sentence.

$content = "First sentence. Then. Many. More.";
preg_match('/(.*?[?.!])(.*)/', $content, $match);

$first_sentence = $match[1];
$the_rest = $match[2];

But this will work.

 $content = "First sentence? Then. Many. More.";
