Question

I have a string and this string should be an array.

But the first 2 letters are variable and I need the 5 next digits (whether empty or not). The last 5 digits are numeric with a decimal point or empty ( $string="AB3 . ";)

An example:

$string = "AB10.00";

$arr[0] = "AB";
$arr[1] = "10.00";

I would like to use preg_split() for this.

Answer 1

You mean substr() ?

$string = "AB10.00";
$arr[0] = substr($string, 0, 2); // $arr[0] == 'AB'
$arr[1] = substr($string, 2); // $arr[1] == '10.00'
