yes thank you, it helped, but this is new to PHP5, and I've been using php for a while and I'm sure there was another trick.. but anyway, thanks

since I am still working with php4, I figured out a function myself

function str_split($var)
{
    $array = array();
    for($i = 0; $i < strlen($var); $i++){
        $array[] = substr($var, $i, 1);
    }
    return $array;
}

What do you need this for?

You can use a string as an array, if you want.

$var = "string";
echo $var[3];

Or you could use explode:

$var = "string";
$var = explode($var, "");
