I'd explode() the string into an array, and take the 0th element of the
array.

$s = 'here is a text what i have';
$a = explode (' ', $s);
echo ($a[0]);

If you want to match  /whitespace/ (tab, space, etc), replace explode() with
split() using the correct regular expression.

(Note: explode() takes a 3rd optional parameter, limit, if you want a
remainder string, too.)
