how to add space inside this string ?

how to add space between "1234" and "ab" in this example ?

1234ab

 

Will it always be in that format 4 numbers followed by 2 letters?

 

it will be some numbers contain "," but the end is always 2 letters

so its something like this 1234,56ab

 

$str = '1234,56ab';

$ex = explode(',', $str);

$numbers = $ex[0];

$letters = $ex[1];

Hi,

You can add another string in between that will only be the space or pad a space on right of the first string or left for the second string.

                exit;
        }
        $prefix = substr( $str,0,$num );
        $suffix = substr( $str,$num );

}
/* eg 1.
$newstr = lick_split('my name is sunlicksunlcik',-7,'! NOT ');
echo $newstr;
exit;

/* eg 2.
$newstr = lick_split('1234ab',-2,',56');
echo $newstr;
exit;
*/

If there will always be 2 letters on the end, you can use substr.

<?php

$str = '1234,56ab';

$new_str = substr($str, 0, strlen($str) - 2) . ' ' . substr($str, -2);

?>

Regular expression matching will work. This code adds a space when the input has two alpha characters (case-insensitive) appearing last.

<?php
$strInput = '1234,ab';
preg_match('#(.*)([A-Z]{2,2})#i', $strInput, $strInputArray);
$strOutput = $strInputArray[1] . ' ' . $strInputArray[2];
