PHP Split function

May 15th, 2008

Hi I want to split a variable to check what type of user they are. If they are user type 1 their username will be in the form "LLL" where L is a letter. If they are user type 2 their username will be in the form "LLNNNNN" where L is a letter and N is a number. I thought I could use PHP split and then is_numeric function to check the username. Would this be the best way to do it? If so what is the code I need to use to split the variable?

Many thanks for your help
