note 56607 added to function.str-split

Here a way to do it using * unpack() * 1. get the size of the string. 2. divide the string length by the character length to split the string at. 3. then build the unpack() to do the multi sub string. 4. use array_combine (because unpack() starts at array element 1) 5. return the split string as a array! <? // string to split $text = 'The cat in the hat. Green eggs and ham. Sam I am.'; // split string at number of characters $split = 20; // run it... $out = split_it ( $text, $split ); print_r ( $out ); function split_it ( $str, $max ) { $r = strlen ( $str ); if ( $r <= $max ) { return ( array ( $str ) ); } $s = array ( 0 ); $t = ''; $u = $r / $max; $v = ''; if ( strpos ( $u, '.' ) !== false ) { $p = explode ( '.', $u ); $u = $p[0]; $v = 'A' . '* ' . ( $u + 1 ) . '/'; } for ( $i = 1; $i <= $u; $i++ ) { $t .= 'A' . $max . ' ' . $i . '/'; $s[] = $i; } $t .= $v; return ( array_combine ( $s, unpack ( $t, $str ) ) ); } ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.str-split.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+56607 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56607&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56607&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56607&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56607&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56607&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56607&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+56607&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
