Split strings with preg_split and build common validation patterns.

preg_split() Signature

preg_split($pattern, $subject, $limit, $flags) splits a string by a regex delimiter and returns an array of substrings.

Split on any whitespace sequence.

<?php
$words = preg_split('/\s+/', "Hello   World\tFoo");
print_r($words); // ["Hello", "World", "Foo"]
