i've been looking @ explode() , str_split() php functions use cant seem find way last digit, else before thanks

this work me.you can split whatever before numeric number

<?php $str = "cl2"; $result = preg_split('/(?<=[a-z])(?=\d)/i', $str); ?>

another way @marcus's answer

<?php $str = "cl2";    $result = preg_split("/(\d+)/", $str , -1, preg_split_no_empty | preg_split_delim_capture);     ?>

then result :

$result[0] = "cl" $result[1] = "2"
