Question

I need to split a String into an array of single character Strings and get count of splitted charcters .

Eg, splitting "character" would give the array "c", "h", "a", "r", "a", "c", "t", "e", "r".

EDIT

Is it possible to get count splitted string characters using inbuilt functions?

Array ( [c] => 2 [h] => 1 [a] => 2 [r] => 2 [t] => 1 [e] => 1 ) 

Answer 1

Use str_split

$array = str_split("cat");

Try count_chars:

<?php
$data = "Two Ts and one F.";

foreach (count_chars($data, 1) as $i => $val) {
   echo "There were $val instance(s) of \"" , chr($i) , "\" in the string.\n";
}
?>

The above example will output:

There were 4 instance(s) of " " in the string.
There were 1 instance(s) of "." in the string.
There were 1 instance(s) of "F" in the string.
There were 2 instance(s) of "T" in the string.
There were 1 instance(s) of "a" in the string.
There were 1 instance(s) of "d" in the string.
There were 1 instance(s) of "e" in the string.
There were 2 instance(s) of "n" in the string.
There were 2 instance(s) of "o" in the string.
There were 1 instance(s) of "s" in the string.
There were 1 instance(s) of "w" in the string.
