I've got string like this
$str = "cl2"
$str2 = "L1"
What i'm trying to get is the LAST NUMERIC NUMER and whatever is before the numeric number
Result I want is
$result[0] = "cl"
$result[1] = "2"
$result[0] = "L"
$result[1] = "1"
I've been looking at explode() and str_split() php functions to use but cant seem to find a way to only get the last digit, then everything else before it thanks
This is work for me.You can split whatever is before the numeric number
<?php
$str = "cl2";
$result = preg_split('/(?<=[a-z])(?=\d)/i', $str);
?>
Another way from @Marcus's answer
<?php
$str = "cl2";
$result = preg_split("/(\d+)/", $str , -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY | PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE);
?>
Then result is :
$result[0] = "cl"
$result[1] = "2"
Thanks guys, I ended up using substr to solve my problem
$str = "CL2"
$result[0] = substr($str, 0, -1); // returns "CL"
$result[1] = substr($str, -1); // returns "2"
