Explode function - split word from number

[TD]

Hello!

I need to split words from numbers.

 

$code = "Johny234";
$split = explode(" ", $code);
$codetxt = $split[0]; 
$codenr = $split[1]; 

 

Hope that someone can help me... many thanks!

you will have to iterate over the string until you come across a number, then you will use substr() to break the string up

If it is always a word then number combination, you could easily just do this:

<?php
$code = 'Johnny456';
preg_match('|^([a-z]+)([\d]+)$|i', $code, $match);
$codetxt = $match[1];
$codenum = $match[2];
?>

Yes i will have it always that word first and then the number comes.

 

Many thanks it works very well! Cheers!

<?php

$code = 'Johnny456';
preg_match('|^([a-z]+) ?([\d]+)$|i', $code, $match);
$codetxt = $match[1];
$codenum = $match[2];

?>
