instead of substr(2,2) you could say substr(2, len($string));
or, you could go:
$var = 'FF02';
$var1 = preg_replace('/[0-9]/', '', $var);
$var2 = preg_replace('/[a-z]/i', '', $var);
$var2 = '/'.$var2;
thereby giving you all digits, and all numerics. Not the most ideal, but if
you can verify that the input is only CharCharNumNum or CharCharNum then
you're set.
What'll break it is CharNumCharCharNum, or any mix therein.
