PHP - iterate on string characters

Question

Is there a nice way to iterate on the characters of a string? I\'d like to be able to do foreach, array_map, array_walk, array_

Hmm... There's no need to complicate things. The basics work great always.

    $string = 'abcdef';
    $len = strlen( $string );
    $x = 0;

Forward Direction:

while ( $len > $x ) echo $string[ $x++ ];

Outputs: abcdef

Reverse Direction:

while ( $len ) echo $string[ --$len ];

Outputs: fedcba
