Question

I have a variable that stores a number, let’s say $num = (double)758341. I wan to break the $num and then insert into an array in ascending or descending order. I am just confused how a number will be broken or tokenized.

Answer 1

Is this what you are looking for?

$num = (double)758341;

$array = str_split($num);

sort($array);

Result:

Array
(
    [0] => 1
    [1] => 3
    [2] => 4
    [3] => 5
    [4] => 7
    [5] => 8
)
