The chunk_split Function

The chunk_split function splits a string into parts of a specified length and inserts a given separator between them. It takes the source string as the first parameter, the length of the fragments as the second, and the separator as the third (default is '\r\n'). Returns the modified string.

Syntax

chunk_split(string, length, [end]);

Example

Let's split the string '1234567890' into fragments of 3 characters with the separator '-':

<?php echo chunk_split('1234567890', 3, '-'); ?>

Code execution result:

'123-456-789-0-'

Example

Let's split the string 'abcdef' into fragments of 2 characters with the default separator:

<?php echo chunk_split('abcdef', 2); ?>

Code execution result:

'ab\r\ncd\r\nef\r\n'
