Technically, a string is an array. Use braces rather than brackets when
doing this:
$string = "erikprice";
print $string{0}; // prints "e"
print $string{1}; // prints "r"
print $string{2}; // prints "i"
print $string{3}; // prints "k"
print $string{4}; // prints "p"
print $string{5}; // prints "r"
print $string{6}; // prints "i"
I hope you get the picture. NB I haven't tested this code, but the
theory is right. Check the online documentation, I think under
variables -- this is kind of hidden.
If you don't mean a character-based array, you'll have to be more
specific about what you're asking -- provide an example.
Also, are you sure you mean to use brackets when you say 'split[]' and
'explode[]' ? It's supposed to be parentheses. 'split()', 'explode()'.
