When using special characters such as the tab placeholder "\t" in the split function, be careful not to escape the slash by adding a slah in front of it. To signify a tab, new line or carriage return use only one slash in front of the character. For example:
$cartes= "one\ttwo\tthree";
$tab_cartes = split("\t",$cartes );
$items = count($tab_cartes);
for ($x = 0; $x < $items; $x++)
{ echo $tab_cartes[$x] . "\n"; }

spliti — Split string into array by regular expression case insensitive
Description
array spliti ( string $pattern, string $string [, int $limit] )This function is identical to split() except that this ignores case distinction when matching alphabetic characters.
This example splits a string using 'a' as the separator :
Příklad 1588. spliti() example
<?php
$string = "aBBBaCCCADDDaEEEaGGGA";
$chunks = spliti ("a", $string, 5);
print_r($chunks);
?>
Výše uvedený příklad vypíše:
Array
(
[0] =>
[1] => BBB
[2] => CCC
[3] => DDD
[4] => EEEaGGGA
)

To split $cartes which contains data and tabulations:
Doesnt work :
$tab_cartes = split("\\t",$cartes );
But \t = char(9), so, works well:
$tab_cartes = split(Chr(9),$cartes);
Idem for :
\n = char(10)
\r = char(13)
