add string to variables

[newphpcoder]

HiGood day!I just want to know if what syntax/code should I use to put - in my data variable.for example I have this data.$lot_number_indi_scan = 'LO130315002LO130318001';I want to create a new variable and the output has added - between the lot_number_indi_scan like this:$newlot = 'LO130315002-LO130318001';I want to happen is first I will check the length of $lot_number_indi_scan if length is greater than 10 every lot_number_indi_scan has -like this: $newlot = 'LO130315002-LO130318001';Any help is highly appreciated.Thank you so much.

$newlot = implode('-', str_split($lot_number_indi_scan, 11));

... assuming that the length of these codes is always eleven.
