i want to split this id ALG030001 but it can't , please help me ,and make it auto increment using PHP like ALG030002,ALG030003,ALG030004,ALG030005,ALG030006 when user submit in database
<?php
$num = 'ALG030001';
for ($i = 0; $i < 10; $i ++)
{
echo $num++ . "<br>";
}
?>
My first thought to solve this problem would get the part of the string that you have and change to something that you can actually increment, an int for example.
<?php
$string = "ALG030001";
$chars = substr($string,0,3);
$number = (int) substr($string,3,strlen($string));
for ($i=0; $i < 10; $i++) {
$string = $chars.$number++;
echo $string;
}
?>
There might be a better way to solve this, but in your case that should do.
