mb_str_split is a function to perform string splitting to an array of defined size chunks.

array mb_str_split (string $string [, integer $split_length = 1, string $encoding = mb_internal_encoding() ])

The function works through the libmbfl library and supports all libmbfl supported charsets just like other mbstring functions.

<?php 
print_r(mb_str_split("победа", 2));
 
--EXPECT--
 
Array
(
 [0] => по
 [1] => бе
 [2] => да
)

Include function into the existent mbstring extension.
