You kinda need to realize that
$String = 'FooBar';
print $String[4];
also prints out an 'B'. But this is adviced AGAINST because it is the same
syntax as you do for array elements.
To get a real array, do something like this:
$Array = Array();
for($i=0;$i<strlen($String);$i++) $Array[] = $String{$i};
But if you have a string with char-space-char stuff, split(' ', $String);
would do too.
