How to add a space after every character in a string in php?

Question

I have a string in php named $password="1bsdf4";

I want output "1 b s d f 4"

How is it possible. I was trying implode function but i was not able to do..

$password="1bsdf4";    
$formatted = implode(' ',$password);    
echo $formatted;

I tried this code:

$str=array("Hello","User");    
$formatted = implode(' ',$str);    
echo $formatted;

Its working and adding space in hello and user ! Final Output I got Hello User

Thanks, yours answers will be appreciated.. :)

Answer 1

You can use implode you just need to use str_split first which converts the string to an array:

$password="1bsdf4";    
$formatted = implode(' ',str_split($password));

Sorry didn't see your comment @MarkBaker if you want to convert you comment to an answer I can remove this.

Answer 2

You can use chunk_split() for this purpose.

$formatted = trim(chunk_split($password, 1, ' '));

trim is necessary here to remove the whitespace after the last character.
