how to seperate a numerical value?

[Anon]

Right i have a value for example 5834
as a variable for example $value
so $value = 5834
Heres the question: How would i get that variable split into an array so that.

$valuearray[1] = 5
$valuearray[2] = 8
$valuearray[3] = 3
$valuearray[4] = 4

I am not very experienced at working with php that is not interfacing mysql so could someone please help me?

This is automatic:

where $valuearray=5843

$valuearray[0] = 5
$valuearray[1] = 8
$valuearray[2] = 4
$valuearray[3] = 3

This works with all variables (including strings).

It's now recommended to reference characters in a string with curly braces.

echo $valuearray{0};
echo $valuearray{1};
echo $valuearray{2}
echo $valuearray{3};
