I needed to split a string into an array of characters, and couldn't find a built in function to do it. This: $array = explode("", $string) didn't work. So I used this: $array = preg_split('/(?<=.)(?=.)/', $string); this uses perl-style regular expressions to split at any point where there is a character behind and in front of that point. hope this helps someone! -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-split.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+31036 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+31036 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+31036
