How to convert a number into an element in an array in php

In PHP, sometimes you need to convert a number into an element in an array. This can be achieved through some built-in PHP functions such as str_split(), explode() and preg_split().

Use the str_split()

str_split() function to split the string into a character array. Because numbers can also be viewed as strings, you can use this function to convert a number into an array.

$num = 12345;
$arr = str_split($num);
print_r($arr);

The output will be:

Array
(
    [0] => 1
    [1] => 2
    [2] => 3
    [3] => 4
    [4] => 5
)

Use the explode()

explode() function to expand the string as specified separator and store the result in an array.

$num = "1,2,3,4,5";
$arr = explode(",", $num);
print_r($arr);

The output will be:

Array
(
    [0] => 1
    [1] => 2
    [2] => 3
    [3] => 4
    [4] => 5
)

Use preg_split()

##preg_split() function with explode( ) function is similar, but regular expressions can be used for segmentation.

$num = "1+2-3*4/5";
$arr = preg_split("/[-+\/*]/", $num);
print_r($arr);

The output will be:

Array
(
    [0] => 1
    [1] => 2
    [2] => 3
    [3] => 4
    [4] => 5
)

In this example, we use the regular expression

/[- \/*]/ to specify the delimiter. This regular expression will match a set of possible delimiters: -, , *, and /.

Conclusion

Using any of the above methods, you can convert a number into an element in an array. In actual programming, different methods may be chosen based on specific needs. But no matter which method is used, you need to pay attention to the type conversion of the number to ensure that the elements in the array are integers rather than strings.
