Re: String to an Array

I *think* either: <? $str = "im the one trying to do this"; echo $str[0]; ?> OR <? $str = "im the one trying to do this"; echo $str{0}; ?> Works -- you'll have to experiment, but I believe the second way is correct, and will echo the first (0th) character in the string. If you want to get more than 1 character from a string (example, characters 2-5), then use substr() -- check out the manual. So far, I don't think you've shown a need for the string to be converted to to an array...
