[spyros]

Hello

For example the number 200509 I want to split it in to 2005 and 09.

Thank you.

Look at [man]substr[/man]. And look here to get other string functions.

Example

<?php

$num = 342647;

$part1 = substr($num, 0, 3);  // 342

$part2 = substr($num, -3, 3);  // 647

echo $part1;
echo "<br>";
echo $part2;

?>

Hold on, this is the ClientSide Technologies forum.

I don't know but this thought might be irrelavent, but I'll ask as it may present another solution.

That number looks like a date and I was just wondering how that number was being generated. I guess it could just be part of a file already or part of some database. But outside of that I think there might be a better way split it.

If we're talking JavaScript, it's similar:

// assume date_string is a string of digits:
year = date_string.substring(1,4);
month = date_string.substring(5,6);
