formated echo

miob

hello !

i'm thinking how to fastest show mobile nr. like '0903 324 643'
in DB i have no spaces '0903324643'
first i need to put space 6numbers before end, then divide them with space.
bc there can be longer format +64 2343 .... therefore i need to make changes from the end. Any ideas ?

printf ? scanf () how ?

The quickest way is to use substr, since you already know what to extract, depend on its always 6 last numbers.

The best way is to use regex to extract country code, area code from a tel no, then printf them.

You could use preg_replace(), something like this

$t = "0903324643";
echo preg_replace( "/(.*)(\d{3,3})(\d{3,3})$/" , "$1 $2 $3" , $t );

HalfaBee, you don't need {3,3}, as this says minimum of 3, maximum of 3.. you can simply use {3} instead (must be and only be 3 occurances)..

$str = '0903324643';
$str = preg_replace('#(\d*)(\d{3})(\d{3})$#' , '$1 $2 $3' , $str);

I doubt you will notice any difference.
