Using explode without a delimiter

[guttyguppy]

hello,

If I have a string, can I explode it at one character wthout a delimiter? E.G., could I take abcde and explode it at each character, or would it have to have a delimiter like a,b,c,d,e ??

 

Thanks!

In general, you can only explode (or split) on a defined delimiter.  However, since strings are arrays, you can abstract individual elements of a string.

 

<?php
$var = "abcde";
echo $var{2}; // note curly braces. This displays c, array counts begin at zero
?>
