I am sorry, what are you trying to do? Print out the string?
If so that can be accomplished like so:
Not exactly sure what you are asking...

I'd step through the string one character at a time, tallying each character in an associative array. You could then use a foreach loop to output the count for each letter in the array.

Just to let you know, I wrote up two different ways of doing the same thing. One prints out the letters in alphabetical order
The other displays them in the order they appear in the string
We're not going to do your homework for you, but if you are using PHP you can use the following functions.
Method 1:
substr_count()
Reference string as array
Method 2:
substr_count()
in_array()
array_push()
strlen()
Show us your code and we can help you further. Also, if you don't know any of the functions I just gave you, look them up on the PHP documentation on php.net
Quote
a = 1
e = 1
l = 1
p = 2
e = 1
l = 1
p = 2
The other displays them in the order they appear in the string
Quote
a = 1
p = 2
l = 1
e = 1
p = 2
l = 1
e = 1

I love problems like this, as they help me discover new functions in the PHP manual. I'm such a nerd.
Anyway, if you're looking to print the letters in the order they appear in the word, I found a third method that utilizes some other functions.
Method 3
If you have PHP5 installed, you can use the str_split() function. If you're using 4.x, you need to find another function, or just loop through each character of the string and array_push() it onto an array.
From there you can utilize the array_count_values() function. Then you take the resulting array, do a foreach loop on it, and echo out the key and value.
There you have it. Three different ways to do the same thing. Write up some code and let us know what you come up with. No excuse for not being able to do it now.
