title: Deprecated: Function split() is deprecated. How to fix this statement?
body: <p>I have the following statement which worked fine before PHP 5.3 using the split function:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$command = split (" ", $tag[1]);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>After upgrading to PHP 5.3, I get the Deprecated warning:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Deprecated: Function split() is deprecated.
  </code></pre>
