Tutorial: Solve PHP function split() is deprecated
![Solve PHP function split() is deprecated](../../../../media/images/tutorials/covers/solve-php-split-deprecated.png)
To solve the deprecated warning (occurring since PHP 5.3) with the split function you have two possibilities, depending what you try to split with the built-in function.
Simple string splitting
<?php
$splitted = split(':', 'username:password');
// Replace it like that
$splitted = explode(':', 'username:password');
In the most cases you try to split by a simple string, then you could replace the current split with explode (fastest possibility).
Splitting by regular expression
<?php
$splitted = split(':', 'username:password');
// Replace it like that
$splitted = preg_split('/[s]+/', 'Another simple replacement');
In case you split a string not by a simple string but instead by a regular expression you could use the preg_split.
