INT to array? Is there way to do this?

[Paldo]

Hi !

I want to ask you If its possible to transfer int to array somehow so I can work with seperate digits from this integer.

I was thinking if there is some conversion Int to string, first couse I recall some command like this from other programing language and maybe it could be first step to do maybe, maybe not.

 

What I need is a way to analyze digit, for example 136245  I want to know how many tousants are there how many hundrets and so on...

This is the reason why I'm thinking about putting this numbers  into array.

 

I hope I made my selfe clear somehow.

All you need is simple maths.

Seems similar to what you're trying to do.

If you're talking about casts

$num = (int)'1221';

 

Would put the int in $num.. though most of the time php handles these kinds of things somewhat transparently as it doesn't support strong typing like most other languages.

For example in java there is.

int anInt = 0;

While in php it's

$int = 0; (notice the lack of data type)

Could you be more specific please?

Becouse What I originaly need to do is to transfer either string entred number or int into verbal form, for example 1874 ----> one thousand eight hundreat  seventy four, and I have a strange feeling that there is som easy way to do that, however I'm  not very good with maths.

$intVal = 1874;
$digitArray = str_split((string) $intVal);

I'm almost sure you could use the mod operator for this (%). Start large, work your way smaller.
