To split an string like this: "日、に、本、ほん、語、ご" using the "、" delimiter i used:

     $v = mb_split('、',"日、に、本、ほん、語、ご");

but didn't work.

The solution was to set this before:

       mb_regex_encoding('UTF-8');
      mb_internal_encoding("UTF-8");
     $v = mb_split('、',"日、に、本、ほん、語、ご");

and now it's working:

Array
(
    [0] => 日
    [1] => に
    [2] => 本
    [3] => ほん
    [4] => 語
    [5] => ご
)

The $pattern argument doesn't use /pattern/ delimiters, unlike other regex functions such as preg_match.

<?php
   # Works. No slashes around the /pattern/
   print_r( mb_split("\s", "hello world") );
   Array (
      [0] => hello
      [1] => world
   )

   # Doesn't work:
   print_r( mb_split("/\s/", "hello world") );
   Array (
      [0] => hello world
   )
?>

In addition to Sezer Yalcin's tip.

This function splits a multibyte string into an array of characters. Comparable to str_split().

<?php
function mb_str_split( $string ) {
    # Split at all position not after the start: ^
    # and not before the end: $
    return preg_split('/(?<!^)(?!$)/u', $string );
}

$string   = '火车票';
$charlist = mb_str_split( $string );

print_r( $charlist );
?>

# Prints:
Array
(
    [0] => 火
    [1] => 车
    [2] => 票
)

an other way to str_split multibyte string:
<?php
$s='әӘөүҗңһ';

//$temp_s=iconv('UTF-8','UTF-16',$s);
$temp_s=mb_convert_encoding($s,'UTF-16','UTF-8');
$temp_a=str_split($temp_s,4);
$temp_a_len=count($temp_a);
for($i=0;$i<$temp_a_len;$i++){
    //$temp_a[$i]=iconv('UTF-16','UTF-8',$temp_a[$i]);
    $temp_a[$i]=mb_convert_encoding($temp_a[$i],'UTF-8','UTF-16');
}

echo('<pre>');
print_r($temp_a);
echo('</pre>');

//also possible to directly use UTF-16:
define('SLS',mb_convert_encoding('/','UTF-16'));
$temp_s=mb_convert_encoding($s,'UTF-16','UTF-8');
$temp_a=str_split($temp_s,4);
$temp_s=implode(SLS,$temp_a);
$temp_s=mb_convert_encoding($temp_s,'UTF-8','UTF-16');
echo($temp_s);
?>

We are talking about Multi Byte ( e.g. UTF-8) strings here, so preg_split will fail for the following string:

'Weiße Rosen sind nicht grün!'

And because I didn't find a regex to simulate a str_split I optimized the first solution from adjwilli a bit:

<?php
$string = 'Weiße Rosen sind nicht grün!'
$stop   = mb_strlen( $string);
$result = array();

for( $idx = 0; $idx < $stop; $idx++)
{
   $result[] = mb_substr( $string, $idx, 1);
}
?>

Here is an example with adjwilli's function:

<?php
mb_internal_encoding( 'UTF-8');
mb_regex_encoding( 'UTF-8'); 

function mbStringToArray
( $string
)
{
  $stop   = mb_strlen( $string);
  $result = array();

  for( $idx = 0; $idx < $stop; $idx++)
  {
     $result[] = mb_substr( $string, $idx, 1);
  }

  return $result;
}

echo '<pre>', PHP_EOL,
print_r( mbStringToArray( 'Weiße Rosen sind nicht grün!', true)), PHP_EOL,
'</pre>';
?>

Let me know [by personal email], if someone found a regex to simulate a str_split with mb_split.

To split by mb letters, use preg_split with /u modifier instead of calling mb functions thousand times.

I figure most people will want a simple way to break-up a multibyte string into its individual characters. Here's a function I'm using to do that. Change UTF-8 to your chosen encoding method.

<?php
function mbStringToArray ($string) {
    $strlen = mb_strlen($string);
    while ($strlen) {
        $array[] = mb_substr($string,0,1,"UTF-8");
        $string = mb_substr($string,1,$strlen,"UTF-8");
        $strlen = mb_strlen($string);
    }
    return $array;
}
?>
