PHP Split function

The syntax for the split function in PHP is: Array split (String $pattern, string $string [, int $limit])

The split () function returns an array of strings, each of which is a substring separated by a regular expression $pattern as a boundary $string. If $limit is set, the returned array contains up to $limit cells, and the last cell contains all the remaining parts of the $string.

Pattern: Specifies the symbol to be identified as an explosion, note that the parameter is case-sensitive.

$string: The string to be processed.

Limit: Returns the maximum number of decomposed substrings, which are returned by default.

Example
#1 Split () example

Put a string such as: "1:0:1:0:1″ into an array and then output
$str = "1:0:1:0:1″;
$arraylist =split (":", $STR); Save in Array

for ($i =0; $i <count ($arraylist); $i + +)//output them all
{
echo $arraylist [$i]. "";
}

#2 Split () example

#3 Split () example
