[SOLVED] Split a number

[smile_mk]

Hi,

Im hoping this is a simple one for you guys because its not for me.

 

What im trying to do is automaticlly split a number. So say someone enters into a form 1234567890 I would like to somehow show that number as 1234 567890 as well as 1234567890 but without having to manually edit it.

 

I hope you understand what I am trying to explain.

 

Thank you

Is it always of length 10 (or at least of length 5)?

 

In that case you can do this:

$num = substr($n, 0, 4) . ' ' . substr($n, 4);

 

See substr in the manual.

Thank you so much for the fast reply, sadly that was straight over my head as im very very new to all this. I will however read the link you have provided and attempt to learn this.

 

In the mean time I will explain exactly what im trying to acheive.

 

Im using wordpress so using this code to fetch my title which I want to split. <?p hp the_title(); ?> (I added the space in php in case it does not show)

 

The number is mostly always more than 5.

 

So the code need to fetch the title then split it.

I have found this code. It is editable by me, im ok at edidting things but the one thing I cannot get to work it the start with. I need it to pick up the post title, then convert it for me. I have not edidted this yet but am confident I can do it. All I need help with is how to start with the post title. When I add

<?php the_title(); ?>

which is the wordpress way of doing it, it does not work.

 

<?

$start_with = "MY POST TITLE HERE"; 

$string = preg_replace("![^0-9]!", "", $start_with);

$part1 = substr($string,0,3);
$part2 = substr($string,3,3);
$part3 = substr($string,6,4);

$array = array( "(", $part1, ") ", $part2, "-", $part3);
$phone_num = implode("",$array);

echo $phone_num;

?>

Placing <?ph p the_title(); ?> in the starte_with area does not work. Can anyone suggest a solution to use the post title as the starts_with entry.

Replaced

 

<?php the_title(); ?>

 

With

 

get_the_title($post->post_parent);

 

And it now works.
