Assuming $string is the variable you want to split


$array = str_split($string); // this splits each character in $string to an array
/*

i.e if $string = 1234. The $array will look like

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

*/

$sum = 0; // initialize variable that sums up all the numbers

// sum up the array of splitted numbers while looping

foreach($array as $num) :
$sum+=$num; // adds up all the numbers
endforeach;

echo $sum;
