regular expression to split alphabet & digits

[ahoo75]

Hi!
I need help to split alphabets & digits from a string. The string have a pattern of one or more alphabets in front and one or more digits at the end. e.g. "CM000001". can i use preg_split funtion or i should use loop to check each character ? please help. thanks!

No, preg_split would not be helpful for this I think. You might use [man]preg_match[/man] with 3rd argument to get an array with the different parts of the match.
