parsing a string

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Feb 28.2007

Okay, I’m working on a funny little password, salt type thing which is way more complicated than I need it to be but I think it’s clever. I want to get the first 3 digits that are less than 5 out of an md5 hash. I want them stored as separate values in an array.

I can’t figure out how to split a string into it’s separate characters though.

oh dear. that was easy. nevermind.

@NightShift58Feb 28.2007 — A string is an array of characters - always.

You can address each position in a string as you would an array:[code=php]<?php
$user = "aj_nsc";
echo $user[0] . $user[2] . $user[4];
?>[/code]
