Isolate substring at end of string after a specific substring

Question

My query generates a result set of UID values which looks like:

855FM21
855FM22
etc

I want to isolate the last number from the UID which it can be done by splitting the string.

How to split this string after the substring "FM"?

Answer 1

To split this string after the sub string "FM", use explode with delimiter as FM. Do like

$uid = "855FM22";
$split = explode("FM",$uid);
var_dump($split[1]);

Answer 2

You can use the explode() method.

<?php
$UID = "855FM21";
$stringParts = explode("FM", $UID);

$firstPart  = $stringParts[0]; // 855
$secondPart = $stringParts[1]; // 21

?>
