Easy one I think

[Schlo_50]

Hi there,

 

Think I've got an easy one for someone to help me with.

 

I have alphanumerical strings being posted ($_POST['manufacturer']) from a form in the following format:

0162839273Papo

7282618922Galt

1819237363Hasbrome

etc.

 

I need to split up the strings when they are sent to me so that I am left with variable $nbr as the numerical part and $lttr as the letters after the number.

 

Could someone show me how this is done? I've looked into preg_split but i can't quite understand how I can apply it.

 

Thanks in advance!

<?php
  if(preg_match('/^(\d+)([a-zA-Z]+)$/',$_POST['manufacturer'],$matches)){
    $nbr = $matches[1];
    $lttr = $matches[2];
  }
?>

<?php
$test = '1819237363Hasbrome';
$b = preg_split('/(?=[^0-9])/',$test,2);

print_r($b);
?>
