Convert a string to an array
Syntax
str_split ( string $string [, int $split_length = 1 ] ) : array
Parameters
string
The input string.
split_length
Maximum length of the chunk.
Return
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.
