str_split is your friend.

$split_string = str_split($name);

It may be sufficient for you to access the string directly as an array, without the need to format the data:

$a = 'abcde';
echo $a[2];

Will output

c

However you won't be able to perform some array operations, such as foreach

see the php site

so it would be like 

$name= 'test';

$arr1 = str_split($name);

would result in a array like:

Array
(
    [0] => t
    [1] => e
    [2] => s
    [3] => t
)

Here you go 

$i = 0;
while(isset($name[$i])) {
 $nameArray[$i] = $name[$i];
 $i++;
}

Try this:

  $letters = array();
  for (int $i=0; $i < strlen($name); $i++){

       $letters[] = $name[$i]; 

  }

and you can access it with:

   for (int $i=0; $i < strlen($letters); $i++){

        $letters[$i]; 
   }
