Inserting Character into String?

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

Hi,

Maybe someone could jog my memory, I’m sure I’ve done this before, although a few years ago.

I have a list of mobile numbers pulled from AD/LDAP, ($info[$i][“mobile”][0]) that are all in a single long string, i.e. 07812345678, I’d like to insert a whitespace at the 5th character, to make it more user friendly, so it looks like 07812 345678.

Isn’t there a function, where you can insert a character a certain number of positions either from left or right of the string? I’m sure I used something like this back in PHP4, but maybe my memory isn’t what it used to be!

Is there such a function, or am I just imagining it? ?

Ben
