split array from index to index php code example

Example 1: slice array php

array_slice() function is used to get selected part of an array.
Syntax:
array_slice(array, start, length, preserve)
*preserve = false (default)
If we put preserve=true then the key of value are same as original array.

Example (without preserve):
<?php
$a=array("red","green","blue","yellow","brown");
print_r(array_slice($a,1,2));
?>

Output:
Array ( [0] => green [1] => blue )
  
Example (with preserve):
<?php
$a=array("red","green","blue","yellow","brown");
print_r(array_slice($a,1,2,true));
?>

Output:
Array ( [1] => green [2] => blue )

Example 2: breaking long array in php

To reverse an array_chunk, use array_merge, passing the chunks as a variadic:

<?php
$array = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9];

$chunks = array_chunk($array, 3);
// $chunks = [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9]]

$de_chunked = array_merge(…$chunks);
// $de_chunked = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
?>
