php7 will string Convert to array

Method 1: Use str_split() function

str_split() function splits the string into an array according to the specified length, syntax format:

str_split(string,length)

• string Required. Specifies the string to be split.

• #length Optional. Specifies the length of each array element. The default is 1.

If length is less than 1, the str_split() function will return FALSE. If length is greater than the length of the string, the entire string will be returned as the only element of the array.

Method 2: Use the explode() function

The explode() function can split the string according to specific delimiters into several parts.

explode() function can split a string based on the string delimiter, that is, it splits a string into several substrings based on the delimiter, and then combines these substrings into an array and returns it. The syntax format is as follows:

explode(separator,string,limit)

The parameter description is as follows:

• separator: the separator character used to split the string;
• string: the string that needs to be split;
• limit: Optional parameter, which can be empty, specifies the number of array elements to be returned;
  • If $limit is not empty and is a positive number, the returned array contains at most $limit elements element, the last element contains the remainder of $string;
  • If $limit is not empty and is a negative number, all elements except the last $limit elements are returned;
  • If $limit is 0, it will be treated as 1;
  • If $limit is empty, it means returning all array elements.
