$number = 123456789

should print as following:
var1: 12345   (and it is this lengt witch varies)
var2: 67
var3: 89.


You can also do this with a regular expression:

$iNumber = '123456789';
$sPattern = '/(\d+)(\d{2})(\d{2})$/';
preg_match($sPattern, $iNumber, $aMatches);

Then $aMatches contains:

Array
(
    [0] => 123456789
    [1] => 12345
    [2] => 67
    [3] => 89
)

The regexp pattern /(\d+)(\d{2})(\d{2})$/ means:

        (one or more digits) (two digits) (two digits) [end of string]
