You kinda need to realize that $String = 'FooBar'; print $String[4]; also prints out an 'B'. But this is adviced AGAINST because it is the same syntax as you do for array elements. To get a real array, do something like this: $Array = Array(); for($i=0;$i<strlen($String);$i++) $Array[] = $String{$i}; But if you have a string with char-space-char stuff, split(' ', $String); would do too.
