Hi Randy,
Just copy the following code and execute it, it works as you
require, tested works fine.
<?
$string="abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
$length = strlen($string); // Finds the length of the string
$octFull = round($length/8); // splits the length and finds how many
// times 8 occurs in the length
$intStart=0; //initilize the integer start to divided the string into 8's
// Loop to divide the $string into 8 and print them.
for($i =1;$i < $octFull+2;$i++)
{
//gets the substring of the string with the length of 8
$strDiv[$i] = substr($string,$intStart,8);
//increment the start position to take the next 8 among the string
$intStart = ($intStart+8);
echo "<p>string$i : $strDiv[$i]</p>";
}
?>
