You could use str_replace(), or substr() and stristr() or strchr() .

Look the functions up on PHP.net for usage.

Simple code to replace all spaces in a word:
str_replace(' ', '', $string);

To get all of the words in a string and put them into an array:
$words = explode(' ', $string);

You can then just get the first two of the first word using:
$new_string = substr($words[0], 0, 2) . $words[1]);

You can also write a foreach loop to handle more than two words.

Hope that helped.
