<para>
Converts a string to an array. If the optional
<parameter>split_length</parameter> parameter is specified, the
returned array will be broken down into chunks with each being
<parameter>split_length</parameter> in length, otherwise each chunk
will be one character in length.
</para>
<para>
&false; is returned if <parameter>split_length</parameter> is less
than 1. If the <parameter>split_length</parameter> length exceeds the
length of <parameter>string</parameter>, the entire string is returned
as the first (and only) array element.
