Are there any built-in PHP functions that can help with breaking down a number into its individual digits?

To break down a number into its individual digits in PHP, you can convert the number to a string and then use str_split() function to split the string into an array of individual characters. This array will contain each digit as a separate element. You can then loop through the array to access each digit separately.

$number = 12345;
$digits = str_split((string)$number);

foreach ($digits as $digit) {
    echo $digit . " ";
}
