php text to characters function

This function breaks a piece of text into characters and shows them on a newline. I could not for the love of me get the \n to work so I added <br /> instead.

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php
function textToCharacters($string)
{
    $sLen = strlen($string); // length in numbers of the text
    $i = 0; // iteration start point
    $characters = "";
    
    for($i = 0; $i < $sLen; $i++) // iterate from 0 to length of the string
    {

        $characters .= $string[$i]. "<br />"; // store each character as a space seperated array.

    }

    return $characters; // return the list of the characters

}

echo textToCharacters("pein87");


?>

Tested and works shows

Re: php text to characters function

Well... i don't think is a text to chars function. More like a text to text function because the output is after all another string. :)

Re: php text to characters function

it break the original string into characters and shows them on a newline. Of course you dont need a function to get the text thats saved as a variable into characters you could of course just use $text[0].
