Print Each Character

[Anon]

Hello all,

PLEASE HELP!!!

I have a string, and I would like to print all the characters in that string. Print them on separate lines and also count white spaces.

Example:

$string = "This( # % 6 string";

Output should be:

T
h
i
(
#
%
6
s
t
r
i
n
g

There are 3 white spaces.

If anyone how to count character in a string or print them, please help. Thank you.

You can access each character in a string asif the string was an array:

$sString = "hello";

echo $sString[2];

use strlen() to find out how many letters there are in the string, and use a FOR loop to process each letter.

Well since internally I think a string is just a char array, we can do something like this

<?php

$string = "This(# % 6 string"; 

$whitespace = 0;

for ($i = 0; $i < strlen($string); $i++) {

if ($string[$i] != " ")
echo $string[$i] . "<br>";
else
$whitespace++;
}// end for

echo "There are $whitespace white spaces";

?>

This might not be the cleanest method but it works.

Hope that helps
