Question

Hi guys I have to port a few functions from AS to PHP, but I ran into a small problem.

There’s an array, lets called it arr1. There is a switch, that pushes argument to this array, but after the switch ends, I’m stuck at join("").split("");

var arr1 = [];
    switch (myString)
    {
        case "apple":
        {
            arr1.push("apple");
            break;
        } 
    }
}
arr1 = arr1.join("").split("");

I know is simple, but i never had experience with arrays in flash before, I just realized join("") was used to convert the Array to string, but isn’t split reversing this?

What this code is doing is first joining all your array values together into a string, and then splitting them into an array of the separate characters. The PHP equivalent would look something this (tested):

$arr1 = array("apple");  //arr1 after the switch
$arr1 = str_split(implode('',$arr1));
