How can you separate numbers and text in a string using PHP?

To separate numbers and text in a string using PHP, you can use regular expressions to extract the numeric and non-numeric parts of the string. By using preg_match_all function with appropriate regex patterns, you can easily achieve this separation. This allows you to manipulate or process the numeric and non-numeric parts separately as needed. 

$string = "abc123def456";
preg_match_all('!\d+!', $string, $numbers);
preg_match_all('![^\d]+!', $string, $text);

$numbers = implode("", $numbers[0]);
$text = implode("", $text[0]);

echo "Numbers: " . $numbers . "<br>";
echo "Text: " . $text;
