and i want split this number: 922888222
into this: 922 888 222
how can i do that?
thanks a lot for your help :)

you can use a RegEx (preg_replace()).

you can use a RegEx (preg_replace()).

preg_split() would be better ;)

And str_split() better still - pay attention to the optional 'length' parameter.

[Dormilich]

preg_split() would be better

that depends on the desired output.

[Markus]

that depends on the desired output.

I don't think the output is in question - the OP asked for his string to be split.

[Dormilich]

the OP didn’t mention to split it into an array. you know how loose the meaning of a word can be in this forum.

I am presuming that it is a phone number or the like that the OP wants formatted. How I would do it, not saying Dorms way won't work or be better, but str_split() and then a simple echo with spaces. It can be done in a loop if the length of the original number is variable, but I think this will do:

$number = "922888222";
$array = str_split($number,3); // Splits the number into a new element every 3 characters
echo( $array[0],' ', $array[1],' ', $array[2] ); // Ouputs each element with a space in between

I would probably do it like this

number_format(922888222, 0, " ", " ");

I would probably do it like this

number_format(922888222, 0, " ", " ");

Great idea! Looks like it would work.

function human_readable_memory_sizes($size, $is_add_commas = false, $is_full_description = false, $digits = 20) {
  $unit = array('b', 'kb', 'mb', 'gb', 'tb', 'pb');
  $unit_full = array('Bytes', 'KiloByte', 'MegaBytes', 'GigaBytes', 'TeraBytes', 'PetaBytes');

  $out = $size / pow(1024, ($i = floor(log($size, 1024))));

  $out = sprintf("%." . $digits . "f", $out);

  $out = !$is_add_commas ? $out : preg_replace_callback('/(\d)(?=(\d{3})+$)/', function ($arr) {
    return isset($arr[0]) ? "$arr[0]," : "";
  }, $out);

  $out .= ' ' . (!$is_full_description ? $unit[ $i ] : $unit_full[ $i ]);

  return $out;
}

the preg_replace_ca llback is what you want (in PHP),
for JavaScript your can use:

function addCommas(t) {
  return String(t).replace(/(\d)(?=(\d{3})+$)/g, "$1,")
}
