Splitting a string

[TheShaftUK]

Hi, i need a split a string like so :- 'acegi' in

$a1 = "a";
$a2 = "c";
$a3 = "e";
$a4 = "g";
$a5 = "i";

I have tried everything i can but no luck?

Also how do i get the ascii code of the number/string? Say 'a' is asc (62) but how do i get that code?

Regards

$string="acegi";

echo $string[0]; will display "a"
echo $string[1]; will display "c"

and so on...

Try the ord() function.

BTW - this is available in the manual, as are all built in php functions

Indeed, there's a paragraph in the manual's entry for split() that discusses exactly this.
