Answer 1

If your number fixed as 13 digits number than you can use preg_replace() as:

<?php
//62 853 9898 0808 required
$number = 6285398980808;

$formatted_number = preg_replace("/^(\d{2})(\d{3})(\d{4})(\d{4})$/", "$1 $2 $3 $4", $number);
echo $formatted_number; // 62 853 9898 0808
?>

Answer 2

There is a special function for that number_format - just play with parameters.
