Insert space after # of characters 1

[Guest_imported]

How would I go about a code that would insert a space after, say 5 characters, so if someone does 555555555555, it would show as 55555 55555 55?

use preg_replace

/([a-zA-Z0-9]{5})/sU" as pattern and then replace by the same thing with a space



this is one way Anikin

or else

function addspace($string){
  $count=0;
  $new="";
  for($i=0;$string[i];$i++){
     if ($string[i]>='a' && $string[i]<='z' || $string[i]>='A' && $string[i]<='Z' || $string[i]>='0' && $string[i]<='9'){
         $new.=$string[i];
         $count++;
         if ($count==5){
            $new.=&quot; &quot;;
            $count=0;
         }
      }

  }
  return $new;
}

i did not tested the function, but i presume it wikll work fine.

Thanks man - I just happened to have needed the same thing a while ago.

Theres a lot of C/perl and API compatable functions I didnt realise existed, not well documented but well worth a read ______________________________________________________________________
