How to convert a word to an array of characters

Question

Can anyone help me? I want to convert a word to an array.

example:

$word = "hello"

and I want to convert it to an array like this:

$wordarray = ['h', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o'];

The size of the array is automatically set by the length of the word

Is that possible?

use `str_split` http://php.net/manual/en/function.str-split.php — Nick, Nov 12 '18 at 05:15
well how to convert the space to underscore (_), is possible to use 'contains' thing? — Wisnu, Nov 12 '18 at 05:17

@Nick If you've a gold medal in PHP, you can actually close it (I don't). — Tim Biegeleisen, Nov 12 '18 at 05:18
@TimBiegeleisen still working on that... only about 1/2 way there... — Nick, Nov 12 '18 at 05:19
No worries @Wisnu, glad to help and welcome to Stack Overflow. — Nick, Nov 12 '18 at 05:25
