Name
split
Synopsis
array split(stringpattern
, stringstring
[, intlimit
])
Returns an array of strings formed by splitting
string
on boundaries formed by the
regular expression pattern
. If
limit
is specified, at most that many
substrings will be returned; the last substring will contain the
remainder of string
.
If your split is such that you don’t need regular expressions,
explode( )
performs a similar
function and is much faster.
