Split an Array into N Arrays - PHP

Question

I have an array of 18 values:

$array = array(\'a\', \'b\', \'c\', \'d\', \'e\', \'f\', \'g\', \'h\', \'i\', \'j\', \'k\', \'l\', \'m\', \'n\', \'o\', \'p\',          


        

Answer 1

This will do it for you!
Here, I used my function smallify() to break an array of 15 elements into 3 arrays of 5 elements each.

");
print_r (smallify($bigArray, 3));
echo ("
");


function smallify($arr, $numberOfSlices){

  $sliceLength = sizeof($arr) /$numberOfSlices;
  for($i=1; $i<=$numberOfSlices; $i++){

       $arr1 = array_chunk($arr, $sliceLength*$i);
       return $arr1;
       unset($arr1);

   }

}
?>


Result

Array
(
[0] => Array
    (
        [0] => 1
        [1] => 2
        [2] => 3
        [3] => 4
        [4] => 5
    )

[1] => Array
    (
        [0] => 6
        [1] => 7
        [2] => 8
        [3] => 9
        [4] => 10
    )

[2] => Array
    (
        [0] => 11
        [1] => 12
        [2] => 13
        [3] => 14
        [4] => 15
    )
