PHP Explode
In PHP we can easily break a long string into smaller parts by using the explode() function of PHP. In run rime, this function works like this:

$longtext=”This is a long text string”;
$brokentext=explode(” “, $longtext);

After the execution of the second command the variable $brokentext is an array such that,

$brokentext[0]=”This”
$brokentext[1]=”is”
$brokentext[2]=”a”
$brokentext[3]=”long”
$brokentext[4]=”text”
$brokentext[5]=”string”

Javascript Split
and so on. So how do we do it in JavaScript. In JavaScript there is a split() function that achieves the same objective, although the syntax is a bit different.

var longtext=”This is a long text string”;
var brokentext=longtext.split(” “);

Now the variable brokentext has all those words.
