adding a string to an array ?

[_SuperString]

Hi Dudes,

anyone know how to add each character of a string into an array?
I know explode() works - but what if you don't have a marker to tell the function were to split?

say the string is lkjhgfd - I want an array with each character as an element like this:
$a[0] = l
$a[1] = k
$a[2] = j
..... and so on.

There must a simple solution to this, what that is I don't know!!

anyone know?

See Example 2 of [man]preg_split[/man]. Although of course, depending on what you're going to be using this array for (specifically, if it's only going to be read), you can just go $string{0}, $string{1}, $string{2}... or even (though this is deprecated for some reason) $string[0], $string[1], $string[2]....

$str='lkjhgfd';
for($i=0;$i<strlen($str);$i++)
$a[]=$str{$i};

That should solve the problem - thanks to Weedpacket (Mr. Sayle - 'Alo John got a new motor) and Cahva
