How to add a space after every character in a string in php?

I have a string in php named $password="1bsdf4";

I want output "1 b s d f 4"

How is it possible. I was trying implode function but i was not able to do..

$password="1bsdf4";    
$formatted = implode(' ',$password);    
echo $formatted;

I tried this code:

$str=array("Hello","User");    
$formatted = implode(' ',$str);    
echo $formatted;

Its working and adding space in hello and user ! Final Output I got Hello User

Thanks, yours answers will be appreciated.. :)

You can use chunk_split() for this purpose.

$formatted = trim(chunk_split($password, 1, ' '));

trim is necessary here to remove the whitespace after the last character.

    function break_string($string,  $group = 1, $delimeter = ' ', $reverse = true){
            $string_length = strlen($string);
            $new_string = [];
            while($string_length > 0){
                if($reverse) {
                    array_unshift($new_string, substr($string, $group*(-1)));
                }else{
                    array_unshift($new_string, substr($string, $group));
                }
                $string = substr($string, 0, ($string_length - $group));
                $string_length = $string_length - $group;
            }
            $result = '';
            foreach($new_string as $substr){
                $result.= $substr.$delimeter;
            }
            return trim($result, " ");
        }

$password="1bsdf4";
$result1 = break_string($password);
echo $result1;
Output: 1 b s d f 4;
$result2 = break_string($password, 2);
echo $result2;
Output: 1b sd f4.

This also Worked..

$password="1bsdf4";    
echo $newtext = wordwrap($password, 1, "\n", true);

Output: "1 b s d f 4"

You can use this code [DEMO]:

<?php
 $password="1bsdf4";
 echo chunk_split($password, 1, ' ');

chunk_split() is build-in PHP function for splitting string into smaller chunks.

You can use implode you just need to use str_split first which converts the string to an array:

$password="1bsdf4";    
$formatted = implode(' ',str_split($password));

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

Sorry didn't see your comment @MarkBaker if you want to convert you comment to an answer I can remove this.

How about this one

$formatted = preg_replace("/(.)/i", "\${1} ", $formatted);
