Breaking down a String in PHP 4

Creating an array with one character in each 'slot'.

[inveni0]

I need to split a string so that each character is in its own holder within an array. I know str_split will do it, but I need something compatible with PHP v4.

Any ideas?

I think chuck_split will work, but any other ideas would be great, also.

Actually, this will not work. What I have is a string like this:

12-15

The first two characters will always be numbers. I need to extract these two digits; however, the string may look like:

12 to 20

or

14(maybe 17)

Any ideas?

I think substr may help you!

substr is perfect! Thanks! That saves me a couple lines of code.
