SPLIT PREG_MATCH etc...

[emexinc]

...i can't seem to wrap my head around this...

 

...i have tried SPLIT, PREG_MATCH, and numerous other methods, only to achieve nothing...i'm trying to create a 'filter' prior to importing data into a database...

 

...examples...

string                          output one            output two

xr4004m                    xr4004                    m

4004m                        4004                      m

4004mi                      4004                      mi

 

...i need the letters in front of the numbers (both of which vary in variables) if applicable to be one output string, and i need the letter(s) behind the numbers to be the other output string...i hope this makes sense...thanks...darwin

<?php
$r = "/^(\w+\d)(\D+)$/i";
preg_match($r,"xyz87612rad",$m);
print_r($m);
?>
