Here is a sample from the listing there are numbers in the address
as well. 
$NewString = ereg_replace("([[:alpha:]]+) ", "\\1".",", $test);
that works to an extent, except that it adds the comma after
every word that is followed by one space and not just the first occurance

looks like you need to find all the spaces _before_ the _first_ 
digit on the row, and _after_ the _last_ digit on the row. 
does that fit your data? are there no other numbers than the 
telephone ones?
