Ok, I'm relativley new to PHP and programming in general, so forgive me.
I'm working on a script to take a 17 digit VIN number from an HTML form and interpet it out into usable info.
I need to get the variable from the form (the 17 digit string) into bits and pieces. More specifically, I need digit 1 in a vairable, digit 2 in variable, digit 3 in a variable, etc. There a few places in the 17 digits where I need more than one digits as a variable. For example, i need digits 7 and 8 together in a variable. The exact groupings are:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7-8 in one variable
9
10
11
12-17 in one variable
Can anyone give me an idea where to start with this? Thanks so much in advance...
