str_split (PHP 5 CVS only) str_split --
Convert a string to an array
Descriptionarray str_split ( string string [, int split_length])
Converts a string to an array. If the optional
split_length parameter is specified, the
returned array will be broken down into chunks with each being
split_length in length, otherwise each chunk
will be one character in length.
FALSE is returned if split_length is less
than 1. If the split_length length exceeds the
length of string, the entire string is returned
as the first (and only) array element.
Example 1. Example uses of str_split() |
<?php
$str = "Hello Friend";
$arr1 = str_split($str);
$arr2 = str_split($str, 3);
print_r($arr1);
print_r($arr2);
?>
|
Output may look like:
Array
(
[0] => H
[1] => e
[2] => l
[3] => l
[4] => o
[5] =>
[6] => F
[7] => r
[8] => i
[9] => e
[10] => n
[11] => d
)
Array
(
[0] => Hel
[1] => lo
[2] => Fri
[3] => end
) |
|
Example 2. Examples related to str_split() |
<?php
$str = "Hello Friend";
echo $str{0}; echo $str{8}; $arr1 = preg_split('//', $str, -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY);
?>

A neat solution for older versions of PHP is:
http://www.pgregg.com/projects/php/code/str_split.phps
(I had wrote this as strsplit() before I found out str_split() existed, so I renamed mine):
/*
* split a string up into equal sized chunks

if (!function_exists('str_split')) {
Function str_split($string, $chunksize=1) {
preg_match_all('/('.str_repeat('.', $chunksize).')/Uims', $string, $matches)
;
return $matches[1];
}
}

Again, an emulation of str_split for older versions just like the above, only in simpler code (should work with php3 and 4, I guess...):
function str_split($str,$num = '1') {
if($num < 1) return FALSE;
$arr = array();
for ($j = 0; $j < strlen($str); $j= $j+$num) {
$arr[] = substr($str,$j,$num);
}
return $arr;
}

thanks for the jpm_split function it was a great help,
i found that the function was adding an extra separtor on the end, so i used the wordwrap function instead of chunk_split :)
function msw_split($string, $split_len=1, $separator=':')
{
$str = wordwrap($string,$split_len,$separator,$split_len);
$str_array = explode($separator,$str);
return $str_array;
}

The following function will do the exact same thing (from PHP 3.0.6 and up), is just as simple to use and only takes two lines!
function jpm_split($string, $split_length=1, $separator=':') {
return explode($separator, chunk_split($string, $split_length, $separator));
}
It works the same way and has the same parameters with the addition of "separator". This optional parameter is necessary in case you know that your string already contains the default separator ':' in it. In which case you would simply change it to any other safe character in order for the function to work properly.
* In my previous submission I accidentally spelt "separator" as "seperator" which caused the explode function not to work. I apologize for this mistake.

str_split for older versions of PHP, it should behave just the same (let's hope that code indentation remains the same ^^).
function str_split($chaine, $length=1)
{ $retour= FALSE;
$incrmt= (int)$length;
if (0 < $incrmt)
{ $retour= array();
$offset= 0;
$limite= strlen($chaine);
while ($offset < $limite)
{ $retour[]= substr($chaine, $offset, $incrmt);
$offset += $incrmt;
}
}// if (0 < $incrmt)
return ($retour);
}
