// The version number (9_5_0) should match version of the Chilkat extension used, omitting the micro-version number.
// For example, if using Chilkat v9.5.0.48, then include as shown here:
include("chilkat_9_5_0.php");

// Any type of file may be split.  It doesn't matter if it's
// a binary file or a text file.

// Output files are written to the current working directory.
// Each chunk will be 50000 bytes except for the last which
// will be the remainder.
