Split ViewHelper <f:split>¶

The SplitViewHelper splits a string by the specified separator, which results in an array. The number of values in the resulting array can be limited with the limit parameter, which results in an array where the last item contains the remaining unsplit string.

This ViewHelper mimicks PHP's explode() function.

<f:split value="1,5,8" separator="," />

{0: '1', 1: '5', 2: '8'}

<f:split separator="-">1-5-8</f:split>

{0: '1', 1: '5', 2: '8'}

<f:split value="1,5,8" separator="," limit="2" />

{0: '1', 1: '5,8'}
