PARSING DL CODES

[Coastal_Life]

I am trying to parse information from a FL drivers license Magnetic Strip.  The information below should explain better.

 

These are the numbers in the stip:  ;6360101262000786187=2105197499270=?

 

I have made bold (above) the numbers needed from the string.

 

Actual numbers:

• 86
• 05
• 27

Placement in the string counting from left to right (including all charactors):

• 16 & 17
• 24 & 25
• 32 & 33

function get_age($birth_date){
 return floor((time() - strtotime($birth_date))/31556926);
 }

echo get_age("1986-05-27");

Any thoughts?

 

Thank you for your help.

If you know the positions then use substr

$DL = ';6360101262000786187=2105197499270=?';

$numbers  = array();
// number positions
$postions = array(15, 23, 31);
// loop over the positons
foreach($postions as $postion)
{
    // get the number
    $numbers[] = substr($DL, $postion, 2);
}

printf('<pre>%s</pre>', print_r($numbers, true));

Thank you very much.  That worked perfectly.
