Actually, you can treat a string as an array without any further processing:
$Globbot = 'dribcot'; echo $Globbot[0]; # echoes 'd' echo $Globbot[6]; # echoes 't' Check out 'String access by character' about halfway down the page at http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php (or, in Portuguese, http://www.php.net/manual/pt_BR/language.types.string.php ). Actually, using the [] syntax is deprecated - using {} is the new way - but I'm a creature of habit... -steve At 11:57 AM +0100 1/17/02, Nick Wilson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- >Hash: SHA1 > > >* On 17-01-02 at 11:46 >* Sandeep Murphy said.... > >> hi, >> >> can i convert a string to an array?? if so how shud the syntax read?? >> >> Thnx, >> >> sands >> > >Check out explode() >www.php.net/manual/en/function.explode.php > >- -- > >Nick Wilson > >Tel: +45 3325 0688 >Fax: +45 3325 0677 >Web: www.explodingnet.com > -- +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Steve Edberg [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | University of California, Davis (530)754-9127 | | Programming/Database/SysAdmin http://pgfsun.ucdavis.edu/ | +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | "Restriction of free thought and free speech is the most dangerous of | | all subversions.
