Textarea to string in PHP

    How do I convert a textarea field in EE to strings so that I may use PHP string functions?  I tried exploding into an array.  But that doesnt work.

    <?php
    $words=explode(’ ‘,’{description}’);
    echo $word[0];
    ?>

    {description} is a text area variable.

    if I use a string variable, for example, ‘{title}’ it works just fine
