How do I retrieve house number in magento street value via soap? - php

Question

I have magento, and I'm posting a request via the soap v2 api to get the address of an order.
With that I get the following object which contains the street name + housenumber(God knows why these fields are not seperate...)
$shipping_address->street = "4th avenue 108";
Now what I want is to have the housenumber 108.
How do I get this house number without getting the 4?
(if someone has a more reliable function/piece of code than the one I post below, please feel free to post it.)

What you basically have to do is check for the first number occurence with a space in front of it.
This way you minimse the risk of fetching the wrong number:
// Code by Michael Dibbets

$value = "4th street26";
$spl = str_split($value);
$pos = 0;
$location = 0;
// simple loop to find the first character with space + integer
foreach($spl as $char)
{
if(is_numeric($char) && $spl[$pos-1]==' ')
{
$location = $pos;
break;
}
$pos++;
}
// If we didn't encounter the space + integer combination
if(!$location)
{
// is the last character an integer? Assume that the last numbers are house numbers
if(is_numeric($spl[count($spl)-1]))
{
for($c=count($spl)-1;$c>0;$c--)
{
if(is_numeric($spl[$c]))
{
continue;
}
else
{
$location = $c+1;
break;
}
}
}
}
if($location)
{
$street = substr($value,0,$location);
$number = substr($value,$location);
}
else
{
$street = $value;
$number = null;
}
// echoing the results. The number should appear after the dash.
echo $street . ' - ' . $number;
