Is there a certain format you always need the string in? Such as 3 digits
followed by a space followed by 3 digits followed by a space followed by 3
digits? Will there ALWAYS be 9 numbers? If this is the case, your ereg()
to parse the string and then create a new varible using $regs[x]... so, if
the above example IS the case, you could use:
if (ereg("^([0-9]{3})([0-9]{3})([0-9]{3})$", $initialValue, $regs) {
$var = "$regs[1] $regs[2] $regs[3]";
}
This may not be the EXACT code, but it's close... Personally, regexps and I
battle often and they always seem to win *grumble* But this should give
you the idea. Look at:

or
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ereg.php
for more details. The first is a VERY helpful resource for using regs in
PHP. Hope this helps some.
