try a preg_match like (untested):
if (preg_match('/^\s*([^0-9]*)\s*([0-9].*)\s*$/', $address, $aresult)) {
$address = $aresult[1];
$number = $aresult[2];
}
else {
$address = trim($address);
$number = null;
}
Note that preg_match will return false here if no number is available in
$address. Leading and trailing spaces are trimmed from $address and
$number, either by the regular expression, or by the trim() function in
case of a no-match.
Note also that this will fail for US-style addresses like "9th street",
moving everything in $number, leaving $address empty.
