    I’m trying to limit the title into 1 word only
    I tried using this code but it doesn’t return anything.. 

    <?php
       $title = get_the_title();
       $names = explode(' ', $title);
       echo $names[0];
    ?>

    This is where I’m trying to implement the code If I change the get_the_title() into $names[0] but it doesn’t return anything.

    $postheader .= '<h3 class="entry-title"><a href="' . get_permalink() . '" rel="bookmark">' . get_the_title() . '</a></h3>';

    Isn’t get_the_title a function that echos rather than returns?

    Oh no it isn’t, it does return it.
    So what does $title return?

    $title return nothing, I think I approach it wrongly that’s why it doesn’t show any value in $names[0].

    I’m trying to put the output inside this code but I really don’t know how
    This is the entire code of it. Please help me.

    if ($show_meta) {
		$postheader .= '<span class="entry-meta"><span class="entry-comments">' . get_comments_number() . '</span>';
		$postheader .= '<abbr class="published" title="' . get_the_time('c') . '">' . get_the_time( get_option('date_format') ) . '</abbr></span>';
	}

	$postheader .= '</a>';

	$postheader .= '</div>';

	$postheader .= '<h3 class="entry-title"><a href="' . get_permalink() . '" rel="bookmark">' . get_the_title() . '</a></h3>';

	return $postheader;
}

    Are you familiar with the ‘var_dump’ function in PHP?
