example, i have a string = abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz

then now i need to split into an array and then print as:
a
b
c
d
.........until z

is it something like :

$msg1 = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
$splitstring = split($msg1); 
//loop through all items in the array 
foreach ($splitstring as $value) 
echo "$value<br>";

$msg1 = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
// $splitstring = split($msg1);  
// wrong kind of paramenter check out the manual for split
//loop through all items in the array !! But it was not an array it was a string

// get the length and loop through it untill strlen is found
// printing each char we get on the way.
for ($i=0;$i<strlen($msg1);$i++){
echo "$msg1[$i]<br>"; 
}

You don't need to use an array at all, if you don't want to:

PHP Code:

$len = strlen($msg);
for($i = 0; $i < $len; $i++)
{
    echo $msg{$i} . "<br />";
}
