Get part of digit in separate variables

Question

I have number 14969126 and want to separate like

$last_five_digits = 69126;
$rest_of_digits = 149;

I have tried

$last_five_digits = substr($postalcode, -5);

But how can i get rest of the digits.

Please provide any suggestion.

Thank you.

You can use:

$firstDigits = substr($postalcode, 0, -5);
//=> 149
