Breaking an Integer # (???)

[blueman]

If I have an integer value of 4 digits, for instance:

$number = 1998

I need to break it into single digits

1, 9, 9 and 8

and store each digit into 4 different variables...

Anyone????

thanx a bunch!!😃

You can do it this way if you need a variable length of number.
It returns variables a0=1 a1=9 a2=9 a3=4;
or you could just access the numbers like a string as the code below does.

Halfabee

$number="1984";
for( $i=0;$i<strlen($number);$i++ ) {
 ${'a'.$i} =$number{$i};
}

// or do it manually

$thousands = $number{0};
$hundreds = $number{1};
$tens = $numbers{2};
$units  = $numbers{3};


// or mathematically

$thousands = floor($number/1000};
$hundreds = floor($number/100};
$tens = floor($number/10};
$units  =  $number%10;
