I want to break a string up into an array (eg "hello" would end up like
$array[0] = h, $array[1] = e, etc) and I cannot for the life of me
figure out how. things like explode() and split() both require a
seperator which is more advanced than I need in this case. can anyone
point me in the right direction?

Strings are already arrays.
To access individual letters in a string use curly braces instead of
square. e.g.
$string="hello"
print $string{0}."br>";
//prints h
print $string{1}."br>";
//prints e
print $string{2}."br>";
//prints l

If this where true, the $string[0] syntax would not have been deprecated.

Besides Geoff's solution and if you really want to create an array, you can
do the following:
$string = 'hello';
$arr = preg_split('//', $string, -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY);

Thanks guys! I was looking around and managed to figure out another way
which I'll post here incase anyone curious happens to stumble across
this thread:
$string = "Hello";
for($i = 0; $i < strlen($string); $i++) {
$array[$i] = substr($string, $i, 1);
}

<fx: smacks forehead> Of course, that's much easier that using
$string{n}

yours is quite a bit easier for my purposes.
