String Decomposition Functions
explode()
array explode(string $sDelimiter, string $sOriginal, integer $iMaxSplit = PHP_INT_MAX)
This function returns an array of strings that contain portions of $sOriginal that are split by the entire string $sDelimiter.
Argument	Description
string $sDelimiter	This is the delimiter string that is used to split $sOriginal. The function will return FALSE if this is an empty string.
string $sOriginal	This is the string that is split.
integer $iMaxSplit	This is the maximum number of pieces of $sOriginal that are returned. The last entry will contain the rest of the string.
implode()
string implode(string $sJoint, array $saPieces)
string implode(array $saPieces, string $sJoint = "")
This function returns an string that is composed of the pieces of $saPieces joined together by $sJoint.
Argument	Description
string $sJoint	This is the string that is put between each piece.
array $saPieces	This is the string pieces that are put together.
join()
This function is the same as implode().
parse_str()
void parse_str(string $sGetUrl, array &$sarKeyValuePairs)
This function returns takes a string URL in the form of a get with name/value pairs encoded in it and splits the values into the array entries of &$sarNameValuePairs with the names as keys to the corresponding values.
Argument	Description
string $sGetUrl	This is the URL that is parsed.
array &$sarKeyValuePairs	This is the set of resulting key/value pairs.
str_getcsv()
array str_getcsv(string $sOriginal, string $sDelimiter = ",", string $sEnclosure = '"', string $sEscape = "/")
This function returns an array of strings consisting of the parts of $sOriginal delimited by $sDelimiter. The parts inside sets of $sEnclosure pairs are not delimited.
Argument	Description
string $sOriginal	This is the string that is broken up into substrings.
string $sDelimiter	This is delimiter that is used to split the string.
string $sEnclosure	This encloses portion of string that are not split.
string $sEscape	This is the escape character for special characters.
str_split()
array str_split(string $sOriginal, integer $iSplitLength = 1)
This function returns an array of characters of size $iSplitLength or less for the remainder..
Argument	Description
string $sString	This is a string that will be measured.
integer $iSplitLength	This is the maximum length of a section.
strtok()
array strtok(string $sOriginal, string $sDelimiterSet = ",")
This function returns the array of substrings of the string $sOriginal that are split by the set of characters in the string $sDelimiterSet..
Argument	Description
string $sOriginal	This is a string that will be measured.
string $sDelimiterSet	This is the set of delimiter characters that split the string.
