ereg() question

[Anon]

I want to split values like: 000810 in a set of 3 integer variables ie 00 08 10. I know or think I can do this with ereg() but I am not getting something 🙂

Would something like below work:

ereg("(.*){2}", $var, $new_arr)

Use the chunk_split function. That function split a string into smaller chunks.

chunk_split("aabbcc",2) will return the string "aa bb cc"
To get 2 values add the explode function.

$ints=explode(" ",chunk_split("000810",2));

This will result in an array of exploded values
$ints[0]=00 $ints[1]=08 and $ints[2]=10

Hmm...the chunk_split() worked but the explode didn't for some reason (I tried and tried and it didn't work...btw using latest version of PHP 🤷). However, I did get some info from another source that works great and its using regex's like I thought could be done:

if ( ereg( "([0-9]{2})([0-9]{2})([0-9]{2})", $value, $regs ) ) {
$s_year = $regs[1];
$s_month = $regs[2];
$day = $regs[3];
} else {
echo "Invalid";
}

This snippet works just fine. I am very curious to get your example working as I may use it in the very near future.
