Split numbers into array...

Anon

Hi!

I have a small problem...
I get tactics for soccergames from a database. It can be "352","442","343" and so on...

What I want to do is split the numbers up and put them into an array:

e.g. "352" should be split up into:

$tactic[0] = 3
$tactic[1] = 5
$tactic[2] = 2

How can I do this? Is it possible with explode()?

Also, is it possible to put in spaces for thousands with a simple method?
e.g. "12010000" should be "12 010 000"

Thanks

Hi Vasse,

try:

$tactic = "352";

then it shoulb be as you want it to be:

$tactic[0] = 3
$tactic[1] = 5
$tactic[2] = 2

so easy.

hope it is an answer to your question ,

regards ali

hi again

i think this will solve your problem with the seperation:

<?
$test = "12010000";
$test = strrev($test);
$j = 1;
for($i=0;$i<strlen($test);$i++){
if($i%3 == 0) $new .= " ";
$new .= $test[$i];
}
echo strrev($new);
?>

hope it works =)

regards ali

Hmm, I think you misunderstood me...

$tactic[0] = 3
$tactic[1] = 5
$tactic[2] = 2

This should be the result... I get the tactics from a database so it's a variable that is unknown to me.

$tactic = $data['TEAM_TACTIC'];

You see?

Thanks a lot for the other answer though! I will try it.

it may be unknown fpr you in the beginning of the script, but while listing the rows in your database youi could set $tactic = $data['TEAM_TACTIC'] as you said.

And then $tactic is a "know" variable and you should get each char of that var the way i described in my first answer ...

i don't know wether i got it this time, but i really apply myself. give me another chance if i failed again 🙂

Hmm, I meant that I would split the numbers like you showed me with the thousand-spaces and while looping trough the numbers ("352") adding them into an array...

The problem is that I don´t know how to do that, and here is where you come in 🙂

Thanks again,

I guess the explode() function cannot split up a string by nothing, it needs an input sting as a delimiter. try this:

<?
$string = 'ilovephp';
$strlen = strlen ($string);
for ($i = 0; $i < $strlen; $i++) {
$substr = substr ($string, $i, 1);
$substr_array[] = $substr;
}
?>

$substr_array is now an array with each individual charater of $sting as a separate element.

Ah! Thanks! Exactly what I was looking for...

Sorry Ali if I confused you, thanks for your help anyway 🙂
