Description:<\/p>\n
Introduces function array_partition() to split an array into N number of evenly distributed partitions (useful for splitting data into columns).<\/div>\n<\/dd>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Extended Description<\/h3>\n
\nThis plugin provides a PHP function to split an array into any number of sub-arrays, suitable for creating evenly distributed (vertically-filled) “columns”. Also known as “chunking” or “partitioning”.<\/p>\n

For example:<\/p>\n

\n$topics = array( "ant", "bear", "cat", "dog", "emu", "frog", "gnu", "hippo", "ibis", "jackal");\nprint_r( array_partition($topics, 4) );\n<\/code><\/pre><\/p>\n
Yields:<\/p>\n
\nArray\n(\n    [0] => Array\n        (\n            [0] => ant\n            [1] => bear\n            [2] => cat\n        )\n\n    [1] => Array\n        (\n            [0] => dog\n            [1] => emu\n            [2] => frog\n        )\n\n    [2] => Array\n        (\n            [0] => gnu\n            [1] => hippo\n        )\n\n    [3] => Array\n        (\n            [0] => ibis\n            [1] => jackal\n        )\n\n)\n<\/code><\/pre><\/p>\n
The plugin will fill as many partitions as requested, as long as there are enough elements in the array to do so.  Any remaining unfilled partitions will be represented as empty arrays.<\/p>\n
It can be sent an array of any data types or objects.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/dd>\n
