Separate each 8 character in array

[developer_65]

Hi…
I have a string (contain A-Z), I want separate each 8 character of this string to array. And next count each word in each batches. For example :

String is (in this case I separate each 8 character with space [just for description my sample] but in real there aren’t spaces and all characters are proximate:

$string = "ABAAABAE EEAADDHJ KLRTYORG JKLOP"


Output:
Array
(
[0] => ABAAABAE
[1] => EEAADDHJ
[2] => KLRTYORG
[3] => JKLOP
)

And then print:
In first 8 characters: A=5, B=2, E=1
In second 8 characters: E=2, A=2, D=2, H=1, J=1
In third 8 characters: K=1, L=1, R=1 T=1, Y=1, O=1, R=1, G=1
And …


I think 'strlen' - 'strpos' - 'substr' functions can be useful and with loops and for structure it will made. But I’m confused. Please help me… thanks.

http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.str-split.php

$arr = str_split( 'string goes here...', 8 ); 

Then... http://us.php.net/manual/en/function...unt-values.php

function something ( $str )
{
    $str = str_split( $str );
    return array_count_values( $str );
}

$arr = array_map( 'something', str_split( 'ABAAABAEEEAADDHJKLRTYORGJKLOP', 8 ) );
var_dump( $arr ); 

Returns:

array(4) {
  [0]=>
  array(3) {
    ["A"]=>
    int(5)
    ["B"]=>
    int(2)
    ["E"]=>
    int(1)
  }
  [1]=>
  array(5) {
    ["E"]=>
    int(2)
    ["A"]=>
    int(2)
    ["D"]=>
    int(2)
    ["H"]=>
    int(1)
    ["J"]=>
    int(1)
  }
  [2]=>
  array(7) {
    ["K"]=>
    int(1)
    ["L"]=>
    int(1)
    ["R"]=>
    int(2)
    ["T"]=>
    int(1)
    ["Y"]=>
    int(1)
    ["O"]=>
    int(1)
    ["G"]=>
    int(1)
  }
  [3]=>
  array(6) {
    ["J"]=>
    int(1)
    ["K"]=>
    int(1)
    ["L"]=>
    int(1)
    ["O"]=>
    int(1)
    ["P"]=>
    int(1)
  }

}

I'm sorry...
how i can print these array with foreach?! I'm confused again ...

[logic_earth]

Well with some basic knowledge of how foreach works and inspecting the structure of the array, you should be able to come up with a solution.
