# preg_split

(PHP 3>= 3.0.9, PHP 4 , PHP 5)

preg_split -- Split string by a regular expression

## Description

array preg_split ( string pattern, string subject [, int limit [, int flags]])

Returns an array containing substrings of `subject` split along boundaries matched by `pattern`.

If `limit` is specified, then only substrings up to `limit` are returned, and if `limit` is -1, it actually means "no limit", which is useful for specifying the `flags`.

`flags` can be any combination of the following flags (combined with bitwise | operator):

`PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY`

  If this flag is set, only non-empty pieces will be returned by preg_split().

`PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE`

  If this flag is set, parenthesized expression in the delimiter pattern will be captured and returned as well. This flag was added for 4.0.5.

`PREG_SPLIT_OFFSET_CAPTURE`

  If this flag is set, for every occurring match the appendant string offset will also be returned. Note that this changes the return value in an array where every element is an array consisting of the matched string at offset `0` and its string offset into `subject` at offset `1`. This flag is available since PHP 4.3.0 .

Beispiel 1. preg_split() example : Get the parts of a search string
`<?php // split the phrase by any number of commas or space characters, // which include " ", \r, \t, \n and \f $keywords = preg_split("/[\s,]+/", "hypertext language, programming"); ?>`

Beispiel 2. Splitting a string into component characters
`<?php $str = 'string'; $chars = preg_split('//', $str, -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY); print_r($chars); ?>`

Beispiel 3. Splitting a string into matches and their offsets
`<?php $str = 'hypertext language programming'; $chars = preg_split('/ /', $str, -1, PREG_SPLIT_OFFSET_CAPTURE); print_r($chars); ?>`
will yield:
    Array
    (
        [0] => Array
            (
                [0] => hypertext
                [1] => 0
            )

        [1] => Array
            (
                [0] => language
                [1] => 10
            )

        [2] => Array
            (
                [0] => programming
                [1] => 19
            )

    )

> Anmerkung: Parameter `flags` was added in PHP 4 Beta 3.
