you can use a RegEx (preg_replace()).

preg_split() would be better ;)

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

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

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:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 $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
