PHP is a powerful scripting language used for creating static, dynamic, and interactive web pages. It is embedded in  HTML and manages web applications, databases, and session tracking.

A string is an array of characters. PHP works on strings and converts them to arrays with the help of some built-in functions.

In this article, we will look at some of the important functions of converting a string to an array in PHP. We will look at each PHP function and see how it is written in the program.

Functions used to Convert String to Array in PHP

There are basically four functions to convert String to Array in PHP:

1. str_split()
2. preg_split()
3. chunk_split()
4. explode()

• The str_split function splits a string into array elements with the same length.
• The preg_split function specifies the delimiter and controls the resultant array with the help of a regular expression.
• The explode function splits the string when a delimiter is found.
• The chunk_split() function splits a string into smaller parts without altering the original string.

Let’s implement each of these functions and see how they convert String to Array in PHP.
