# chunk_split

(PHP 3>= 3.0.6, PHP 4 )

chunk_split -- Split a string into smaller chunks

## Description

string chunk_split ( string body [, int chunklen [, string end]])

Can be used to split a string into smaller chunks which is useful for e.g. converting base64_encode output to match RFC 2045 semantics. It inserts `end` (defaults to "\r\n") every `chunklen` characters (defaults to 76). It returns the new string leaving the original string untouched.

Example 1. chunk_split() example

    # format $data using RFC 2045 semantics

    $new_string = chunk_split(base64_encode($data));

See also explode(), split() wordwrap() and RFC 2045.
