Spacing out characters?

benbox

Hi,

If I have a 10 character string, e.g. 0123456789, what would be the best way to add a space between each character? so it would output 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

This may seem an illogical thing to do, but there is a reason behind it! 😉

Thanks,
Ben

$string = "0123456789";
$split = str_split($string);
$newString = implode(" ",$split);

hi,

thanks for that. but i get an error 😕

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: str_split() in ...

do you know why this might be?

with your code, it makes the beginning of mine:

$text = rand(1,99999) ;
$text = md5($text) ;
$text = substr($text, 22);
$text = str_shuffle($text);
$text = str_split($text);
$text = implode(" ", $text);

You have an old php version. Use this for the str_split function

function str_split($str) {
   $arr = array();
   for ($i=0;$i<strlen($str);$i++) {
      $arr[] = substr($str,$j,$num);
   }
   return $arr;
}

You know, that whole thing could be replaced by a single call to [man]wordwrap[/man].

If it's really just for the output, perhaps you could use letter-spacing.

$text = rand(0,999999) ;
$text = md5($text) ;
$text = substr($text, 32-$chars) ;
$text = str_shuffle($text) ;
$text = wordwrap($text, 1, ' ', 1) ;

$x = 150 ;
$y = 35 ;
Header("Content-type: image/Jpeg") ;
$img = @ImageCreate ($x, $y) ;
$white = ImageColorAllocate ($img, 255, 255, 255) ;
$black = ImageColorAllocate ($img, 0, 0, 0) ;
ImageString ($img, 3, 8, 5, $text, $black) ;
ImageString ($img, 1, 85, 25, "Bot Stopper", $black) ;
ImageRectangle ($img, 2, 2, $x-2, 22, $black) ;
ImageLine ($img, 6, 8, 99, 11, $black) ;
ImageLine ($img, 99, 11, 142, 8, $black) ;
