PHP - Split binary number string into smaller chunks

Question

I have a large binary number stored as a string in a variable. Something like this :

10111100100001010101010101010100000111111111001010101...

I want to split it in chunks of 8, so I use this : chunk_split($text, 8); but chunk_split() returns a string.

How do I store all the chunks in an array ?

Please use the search function before asking. thanks. – Gordon Jul 21 '13 at 07:19 — Gordon, Jul 21 '13 at 07:19

If you want the 8 bits stored as a string within the array use:

str_split($text, 8);

Or, the bits themselves can be chunked as a set of arrays:

array_chunk(str_split($str), 8);

Got it. It's done like this : `str_split($text, 8);` – Mayank Kumar Jul 21 '13 at 06:16
