Question

Is there a way in php to make two strings combine to one? I want to combine strings with the same size together?

$string1 = "apple"
$string2 = "block"
//FUNCTION STUFF HERE
$output = "abplpolcek";

You could try this:

$output='';
for($i=0;$i<strlen($string1);$i++)
{
    $output.=$string1[$i];
    $output.=$string2[$i];
}

echo $output;

Or you can write a simple function like this:

function funnyConcatStrings($str1, $str2)
{
    $output='';
    $leng=strlen($str1);
    if(strlen($str1)==strlen($str2))
    {
        for($i=0;$i<$leng;$i++)
        {
            $output.=$str1[$i];
            $output.=$str2[$i];
        }
    }
    else
    {
        $output='Strings were not equal.\n';
    }
    return $output;
}

// Use it like this:

$mashedString=funnyConcatStrings($string1, $string2);

// or

echo funnyConcatStrings($string1, $string2);
