please help me with converting string to an array:

I have a number for example 3567 that I wish to convert to an array for
example $arr=(3,5,6,7)

I have seen in PHP manual that there is str_split function, but when I write
it in my Dreamweaver he does not recognize it like a function and it's not
working when I put on web. Is there some other function?

function str_to_array($v)
{
return preg_split('//', $v, -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY);
}

$x = str_to_array(1234);

Result:
Array
(
[0] => 1
[1] => 2
[2] => 3
[3] => 4
)

str_split requires PHP 5. You should upgrade if possible.

You could try split() or preg_split() for example.

It's worth noting that you can also address individual characters in a
string like an array:

$str = '3567';
echo $str{2};

will output '6'.

If you really needed it to be an array then you could do something
like this:

function str_to_array($str) {
$a = array();
$len = strlen($str);

for($i = 0; $i < $len; $i++)
$a[$i] = $str{$i};

return $a;
}

echo $str[2];

The {} syntax will be deprecated in PHP 6.
