i have one string
$str ='california 94063';
now i want california and 94063 both in diferent variable. string can be anything
Thanks in advance....
How about
$strings = explode(' ', $str);
Assuming that your string has ' ' as a separator.
Then, if you want to find the numeric entries of the $strings
array, you can use is_numeric function.
Do like this
list($str1,$str2)=explode(' ',$str);
echo $str2;
If your string layout is always the same (say: follows a given format) then I'd use sscanf
(http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.sscanf.php).
list($str, $number) = sscanf('california 94063, "%str %d");
<?php
$str ='california 94063';
$x = preg_match('(([a-zA-Z]*) ([0-9]*))',$str, $r);
echo 'String Part='. $r[1];
echo "<br />";
echo 'Number Part='.$r[2];
?>
If text pattern can be changed then I found this solution Source :: How to separate letters and digits from a string in php
<?php
$string="94063 california";
$chars = '';
$nums = '';
for ($index=0;$index<strlen($string);$index++) {
if(isNumber($string[$index]))
$nums .= $string[$index];
else
$chars .= $string[$index];
}
echo "Chars: -".trim($chars)."-<br>Nums: -".trim($nums)."-";
function isNumber($c) {
return preg_match('/[0-9]/', $c);
}
?>
