# chunk_split

(3.0.6 - 3.0.18 only, PHP 4 >= 4.0.0)

chunk_split -- Split a string into smaller chunks

## Description

``string chunk_split` (string string [, 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 every `chunklen` (defaults to 76) chars the string `end` (defaults to "\r\n"). 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));

This function is significantly faster than ereg_replace().

> Note: This function was added in 3.0.6.
