PHP regexp - put every word into the brackets

I need to transform some string from:

big red car

to:

(big) (red) (car)

I know that I can do this with explode() and implode() functions or foreach cycle but I'm interested in a regular expression solution.

You can use preg_replace() for this.

First match those words with:

\b(\w+)\b

Then replace with:

($1)

In PHP:

preg_replace('/\b(\w+)\b/', "($1)", $input);
