$number = 123456789 should print as following: var1: 12345 (and it is this lengt witch varies) var2: 67 var3: 89.

You can also do this with a regular expression: $iNumber = '123456789'; $sPattern = '/(\d+)(\d{2})(\d{2})$/'; preg_match($sPattern, $iNumber, $aMatches); Then $aMatches contains: Array (

    [0] => 123456789
    [1] => 12345
    [2] => 67
    [3] => 89

) The regexp pattern /(\d+)(\d{2})(\d{2})$/ means:

        (one or more digits) (two digits) (two digits) [end of string]
