Sorted it now, for anyone thats interested its
$variable = AABBCCCC;
$CCCC = $variable % 10000; //CCCC
$BB = ($variable-$CCCC)/10000 % 100; //BB
$AA = ($variable-$BB)/1000000 % 100; //AA

Another way to do this is using the substr function (http://uk.php.net/substr):

string substr ( string string, int start [, int length] )

LOL I didn't realise there was a function to do it - I learnt it from a C++ book a few years ago and then thought it might work for this!

PHP: Select all


function _split($nstr)
{
 $str1=substr($nstr,0,2);
 $str2=substr($nstr,2,2);
 $str3=substr($nstr,4,4);
 $dstr=$str1." ".$str2." ".$str3;
 return $dstr;
}
