There are many ways to do this, here is one:

<?php
$str_arr = explode(" ", "Your long sentence here.");
$sub_arr = array_slice($str_arr, 1, count($str_arr)-2);
$extracted_str = implode(' ', $sub_arr);
echo $extracted_str; // long sentence

CodePudding user response：

$firstIndex = strpos($string, ' ')   1;
$lastIndex = strrpos($string, ' ');
substring($string, $firstIndex, $lastIndex - $firstIndex);
