[SOLVED] Got a quick question

[ballhogjoni]

Does anyone know how to take a string, turn it into an integer, and then break that int up into an array? Example:

 

<?php
$a = '12'; //12 represents months, so there is 12 months here
$b = intval($a); 
$c = explode($b); //this is where I am stuck, I want the output to be something like array(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12) so I can run a foreach loop and some code for each of the months.
?>

 

Any ideas or suggestions?

Is your number always going to start at 1?

 

<?php

  $a = '12';
  $b = (int) $a; 
  $c = range(1,$b);
  print_r($c);

?>

No not all the time. I would say 99% of the time.

 

EDIT: Oh I am sorry yes it will always start at one and go up from there.

Thorpe, when you write this code $b = (int) $a; are you just stating that the value of $a is an INT and then assigning that value to $b? Also can you change the (int) part to float, boolean, string etc...?
