Using explode but after first <br><br> Pattern - laravel

Question

I am using explode to create an array from string and using pattern <br><br> but in my case i want it to be start after first match <br><br>. Means when first time it gets <br><br> then it skip and create an array from second time and so on match <br><br>
<?php
$myString = "Welcome, j.<br><br>
 
(1) this revisional application has been preferred under read with section of the against the order passed by the learned special judge, ndps act, 6th court at barasat.<br><br>
(2) case of the petitioner is that he along with other accused persons are facing trial case, as pending the learned additional sessions judge, 6th court. barasat.";
$myArray = explode('<br><br>', $myString);
// $arr = ltrim($myArray, ' ');
echo "<pre>"; print_r($myArray);
foreach($myArray as $key => $value)
{
$whatIWant = substr($value, strpos($value," "));
echo ucfirst($whatIWant);
}
Basically my task is to Capitalize first letter of Second word i.e this and case.

Answer 1

You can use array_shift() function to shift your array by one element and skip first item in your array.
php document for array_shift
$myArray = explode('<br><br>', $myString);
array_shift($myArray);
foreach($myArray as $key => $value)
{
$whatIWant = substr($value, strpos($value," "));
echo ucfirst($whatIWant);
}

Answer 2

I would try using preg_match_all instead.
The code below looks for the pattern (\d+) (\w+)
\d+ = 1 or more digits
\w+ = 1 or more alphanumeric letters
If you were to add (3)... (4)... and so on, it would match all of them
<?php
$myString = "Welcome, j.<br><br>
(1) this revisional application has been preferred under read with section of the against the order passed by the learned special judge, ndps act, 6th court at barasat.<br><br>
(2) case of the petitioner is that he along with other accused persons are facing trial case, as pending the learned additional sessions judge, 6th court. barasat.";
preg_match_all("/(\(\d+\))\s(\w+)/", $myString, $all_matches);
foreach ($all_matches[1] as $idx => $match) {
$original = "{$match} " . $all_matches[2][$idx];
$replacement = "{$match} " . ucfirst($all_matches[2][$idx]);
$myString = str_replace($original, $replacement, $myString);
}
echo $myString;
