#50653 [NEW]: str_split sequence handling

From: robert_xp at gmx dot net Operating system: PHP version: 5.3.1 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: str_split sequence handling Description: ------------ str_split is only able to split a string in periodical substrings. I think, it's a good improvement to allow arrays as a second parameter to handle sequences. I wrote a patch for that: http://www.xarg.org/2009/12/php-hacking/ Reproduce code: --------------- var_dump(str_split("0123456789abcdefwant to extract this?abcd", array(16, -4))); var_dump(str_split("hello how are you?", array(0, 1, 6, 7, 9, -2, -1))); Expected result: ---------------- array(3) { [0]=> string(16) "0123456789abcdef" [1]=> string(21) "want to extract this?" [2]=> string(4) "abcd" } array(7) { [0]=> string(1) "h" [1]=> string(5) "ello " [2]=> string(1) "h" [3]=> string(2) "ow" [4]=> string(7) " are yo" [5]=> string(1) "u" [6]=> string(1) "?" } -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=50653&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50653&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50653&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50653&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50653&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50653&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50653&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50653&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50653&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50653&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50653&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50653&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50653&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50653&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50653&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50653&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50653&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50653&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50653&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50653&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50653&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50653&r=mysqlcfg
