Slicing up a number

[Cep]

Hello,

 

Is there an easy way to slice a number down into its separate number values?

 

For example,

 

<?php

$num = 54321;

//Magic code here taking $num and returning either,

$n1 = 5;
$n2 = 4;
$n3 = 3;
$n4 = 2;
$n5 = 1;

//or

$narray = array(5,4,3,2,1);

?>

you would use str_split();

eg:

 

<?php

$number = 123456789;

print_r(str_split($number,1));

?>

 

hope this helps,

<?php

$num = 54321;
$narray = str_split($num);

echo '<pre>',print_r($narray),'</pre>';

?>

[uniflare]

echo '<pre>',print_r($narray),'</pre>';

 

would this work? shouldnt it be:

echo '<pre>'.print_r($narray).'</pre>';

?

Thanks peeps!

[pocobueno1388]

echo '<pre>',print_r($narray),'</pre>';

echo '<pre>'.print_r($narray).'</pre>';

Yes, you can do concatenation with commas or periods. I only use the comma when I'm using print_r() as I did above. For some reason a period won't work with that, I'm honestly not exactly sure why. Must be something to do with using a function in an echo statement or something.

Bear in mind there is a difference between concatenation with dots (.) and commas (,)

I'll leave you to figure out what it is

Reading the definition of echo in the manual will tell you why the , works. The , does not mean to concatenate.
