Walker33 Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 I have a three digit alphanumeric value that I'm adding 1 to, for instance S07. My code works fine for all situations except 09, 19, 29, etc. For instance, S09 becomes S010 instead of what I want, which is S10, S19 becomes S110 instead of S20, etc. Not sure what to do, and I also need to avoid S11 becoming S22, S22 becoming S33, etc. <?php //$res is S09 in this case $number = (int) $res[2]; $new_number = $number+1; $reso = substr_replace($res, $new_number, 2); //$reso becomes S010 instead of S10 ?> Really appreciate any help!

MadTechie Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 do you mean something like this <?php $res = "S19"; //$res = substr($res,0,1).(substr($res,1)+1); $res = substr($res,0,1).sprintf('%02s', (substr($res,1)+1)); //Updated echo $res; ?> that works with 1 letter then 2 numbers if you need something my complex ie unknown number of letter followed by 1 or more numbers then this maybe better <?php $res = "Something19"; if (preg_match('/([a-z]*)(\d+)/i', $res,$match)) { //$res = $match[1].($match[2]+1); $res = $match[1].sprintf('%02s', $match[2]+1)); //Updated } echo $res; ?> this will work with any letters follow by 1 or 2 numbers EDIT: oops missed something just updated to so 01 would become 02 instead of just 2 Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/161989-solved-addition-issue-on-alphanumeric-value/#findComment-854704 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker33 Posted June 12, 2009 Author Share Posted June 12, 2009 It's always just one letter followed by two numbers. The first code you gave me does work for the 09, 29, etc., issue. However, it also changes S07 into S8 instead of what I need, which would be S08. I always need it to be three digits. Further thoughts?

MadTechie Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 someone didn't read my update <?php $res = "S07"; $res = substr($res,0,1).sprintf('%02s', (substr($res,1)+1)); echo $res; ?> S08 Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/161989-solved-addition-issue-on-alphanumeric-value/#findComment-854720 Share on other sites More sharing options...
