The this instead. BTW, you misunderstood the useage of substr, see
http://uk.php.net/manual/en/function.substr.php.
$code = 'abcdwxyz8765';
$string = array();
array_push($string,substr($code,0,4));
array_push($string, substr($code,4,4));
array_push($string, substr($code,8,4));
echo $string[0].'-'.$string[1].'-'.$string[2];
