Character Array with PHP??

[vr4lyfe]

I am tryin to split a string into a character array and I searched php.net for a function but found nothing. Hoping you guys can help.

Assuming user passes in $input which contain "string 1",

i want to split it into $array which will contain [t][r][n][g][ ][1] (each [] is a array element).

i tried to split the string up with split() and use . to match any character (code below)

$input = trim($_POST[input]);
$input_array = split('.', $input);

but result is a array of EMPTY elements ..

Please help.

thanks.

nvm .. i am wayyy over complicating the problem .. strings are already char arrays .. like in C .. i can just output it using $string[2] or what not.

sorry for wasting bandwidth.

FYI

String access by character.

Characters within strings may be accessed by specifying the zero-based offset of the desired character after the string in curly braces.

Note: For backwards compatibility, you can still use array-braces for the same purpose. However, this syntax is deprecated as of PHP 4

here you go, hehe hope it helps!

<?php

 function ChopChop($get_string)
 {
  // Split string and put into array
  for($n=0; $n<=strlen($get_string); $n++)
  {
   $getchar = substr($get_string,$n,1);
   $char_array[$n]=$getchar;
  }

  // display chars
  foreach($char_array as $char)
    print $char;
 }

 ChopChop("TESTING CHOP CHOP!!");

?>

but I suppose this would be alot easier, hehe;

$gstring = "HELLO";

 for($n=0; $n<=strlen($gstring)-1; $n++)
   print $gstring{$n};
