Thanks to Richard who pointed me in the right direction. I failed to notice
that the str_split function is only for use with php v5, I was run
4.3.10...DOH!
In case anyone what the solution here is a rewrite.....
////////////////////////////////////
<?PHP
$test='this is test';
$test2=Array();
echo $test;
echo '<br>ping 1<br>';
$strSize=strlen($test);
for($i=0;$i<$strSize;$i++)
{
array_push($test2,$test[$i]);
}
echo 'ping 2<br>';
for($i=0;$i<$strSize;$i++)
{
echo $test2[$i].'<br>';
}
?>
////////////////////////////////////
This will correctly produce
////////////////////////////////////
this is test
ping 1
ping 2
t
h
i
s
i
s
t
e
s
t
////////////////////////////////////
Jochem, thanks for pointing out the count inside the loop issue. This is a
good point to remember...
Thank,
Chris
