The chunk_split() function is a built-in function in PHP. The chunk_split() function is used to split a string into smaller chunks of a specific length.

Syntax:

string chunk_split($string, $length, $end)

Parameters: This function accepts three parameters as shown in the above syntax and are described below:

$string: This parameter specifies a string which is needed to be chunked.
$length: This parameter specifies an integer which specifies the chunk length. That is the length of the chunked parts.
$end: This parameter specifies the line ending sequence.

Return value: This function returns the string splitted into smaller chunks.

Examples:

Input : string = "zambiatek" 
        length = 4
        end = "."
Output: Geek.sfor.Geek.s. 


Input: string = "Twinkle bajaj" 
       length = 2 
       end = "*" 
Output: Tw*in*kl*e *ba*ja*j*

echo chunk_split($str, 4, "."); 
?>

Program 3:

PHP

<?php

Program 4:

PHP

<?php
