Split word into individual letters

[Vivid Lust]

Say I had this:

 

$foo = "WORD";

 

how could I do this:

 

$BAR[1] = "W";

$BAR[2] = "O";

...

 

Thanks!!

It already works that way I think.

 

$string = 'foo';
echo $string[1];

if not what flyhoney said, then try

$foo = "WORD";
$letter = explode("", $foo);
echo $letters[0]; //output should be W

$word = "WORD";
$letters = str_split($word);

Like flyhoney said, you can already address strings by their individual characters.

 

<?php
$str = "test"
echo $str[0]; // t
?>

 

just use a for() loop to iterate through it instead of a foreach() loop.
