Ask substring

24 New Member
Is there any function in php to break down string into its substring

for example

String : body
it will return : "bo" and "dy"

or return the number of substring of a string

for example

String : Miracle
it will return : 3 substring ("Mi" , "ra", and "cle")

thx in advance

PHP is not smart enough to know where the string should be split if you do not tell it. How should PHP know to split "Miracle" into "Mi", "ra" and "cle"?

These are not substrings, they are syllables.
To define them as substrings you need to define rules.
In this case you could create rules that a string is seperated before or after a vowel, or any additional letter you think. Put these in an array or a string, then use any of the string or regex functions that split or tokenize a string
