Question

I have the following string and need to cut it into pieces. But how to do this correct?

The string: $sting = 0nl10000143947019,23000143947456,....,10450143947022

... means that more nrs can be in here

Now I want to cut down this string in the following parts:

$first contains the first nr or letter in the string. So in this case it should be: 0

$second contains the second and third nrs or letters in the string. So in this case it should be: nl

$third contains EVERYTHING after the third nr or letter in the string. So in this case it should be: 10000143947019,23000143947456,....,10450143947022

$fourth contains EVERYTHING after the last , in the string. Note the this nr can be bigger or smaller than in this excample. So in this case it should be: 10450143947022

Hope this is possible!

Kind regards

Answer 1

Try the following:

$first = substr($sting,0,1);
$second = substr($sting,1,2);
$third = substr($sting,3);
$fourth = end(explode(',',$sting));
