EXPLODE function!

[Anon]

Hi folks, I'm a newbie losing my hair over what will probably be a very simple solution to my problem!!

I have a text string, say $text = "abcdefg" and I want to split/explode it up so that each individual character is stored in an array.

I've tryed explode, but it wants a delimiter - any ideas?

TIA - James :-)

You can already treat a string as an array:

$string='abcde';
echo $string[1];

Try to use this function, where $text is your text to split and $choplenght (optional) is the lenght of the peices of the $text string. The command for using this function is:

array = string2array(string, int);

string2array.php
//========================================
function string2array($text, $choplenght = 1) {
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;for($i = 0; $i < strlen($text); $i = $i + $choplenght){
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$chunk = substr($text, $i, $choplenght);
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$text_array[] = $chunk;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;return $text_array;
}
//========================================
