What is best way to spit numbers into an array?

[Dynamo]

Looking for a function to split numbers into an array for use in a simple
graphical counter.

Objective:
$count = 12345
//want to end up with
$array[0]=1
$array[1]=2
$array[2]=3 //and so on then I can do this
$size=sizeof($a rray);
for ($r = 0; $r == $size; $r++) {
echo "<img border='0' src='_borders/$array[$r].gif'> ";
}

Note am using PHP4
Regards
Dynamo

$array = explode(' ', trim(chunk_spli t($count, 1, ' ')));

Maybe just do

for ($r=0;$r<strlen ($count);$r++){
echo "<img border='0' src='_borders/". substr($count,$ r,1) .".gif'> ";
}

or do you _need_ an array?

Do this:

$count = "12345";

$array = array();

for ($i=0; $i<strlen($coun t); $i++) {
$array[] = $count[$i];
}




I believe this will work. You can access PHP strings as if it were an
array. I could be wrong, though, because I never actually had to do it.

No I don't necessarily need an array and your solution did the trick. Many
thanks.

Thanks but Olivers solution worked without me having to use an array. However, I
will log it in my "Unused but I'm sure I'll need it in the future" folder. :)

Ah - silly me, answering your question rather than what you were trying to
do. :)

Or

for ($r = 0; $r < strlen($count); $r++) {
echo "<img src='_borders/{$count{$r}}.gi f' alt='{$count{$r }}'>";
}
