Uses of array_chunk function

#php

array_chunk() is a build function in PHP.

Using this function, one or more new arrays are created with values of arrays. This function usually has 3 parameters.
But it is mandatory to use 2.

  • array – [array from which to extract values]
  • size – [key number of new arrays]
  • preserve_keys - [This value is FALSE by default, if TRUE, it will insert new arrays inside a new array]

Example – 1 : 

<?php $array = array('a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e'); print_r(array_chunk($array, 6)); ?>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Result : 

Array ( [0] => Array ( [0] => a [1] => b [2] => c [3] => d [4] => e ) )
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Example – 2 : 

<?php $array = array('a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e'); print_r(array_chunk($array, 2, true)); ?>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Result : 

Array ( [0] => Array ( [0] => a [1] => b ) [1] => Array ( [2] => c [3] => d ) [2] => Array ( [4] => e ) )
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Thanks 😊
