I have a string which always has "C" then a number which it's length can
change anytime and then "P" and then a space and then a word
like:
echo "C60P1 Unit";
is it anyway to split the string by type?
from the manual I did this:
function multiexplode ($delimiters,$string) {
$ary = explode($delimiters[0],$string);
array_shift($delimiters);
if($delimiters != NULL) {
foreach($ary as $key => $val) {
$ary[$key] = multiexplode($delimiters, $val);
}
}
return $ary;
}
echo "C60P1 Unit";
$str="C60P1 Unit";
$delimiters = Array("C","P"," ");
$res = multiexplode($delimiters,$str);
echo '<pre>';
print_r($res);
echo '</pre>';
but it seems to me it is so complex for such a small string
does anything for type exist which I don't know about to for example just
grab the numbers?because I just care about the numbers here 60 and 1
seperately
