[PHP] String Question

[Randy Johnson]

Hello,

I would like to be able to do the following but have not figured out a way to handle it

$string="abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxz";

I would like to divde the above string into separate strings 8 charactes long , example

$string1=abcdefgh
$string2=ijklmnop
$string3=qrstuvwx
$string4=yz

if the string were only 10 long

$string=abcdefghij

then

$string1=abcdefgh
$string2=ij

any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,


Randy
