PHP split() Function

Hello folks! welcome back to a new section of our tutorial on PHP. In this tutorial guide, we are going to be studying about the PHP split() Function.

The PHP split() function will divide a string into numerous elements, the boundaries of each element based on the occurrences of pattern in string.

The optional input parameter limit is used for signifying the number of elements into which the string should be divided, starting from the left end of the string and working rightward.

In cases where the pattern is an alphabetic character, split() is case sensitive.
