You can use just use this regex in preg_match_all function:

\d{5}[a-zA-Z]

This doesn't meet #4 requirement ;)

It does meet that requirement due to my suggestion of preg_match_all function :)

Use this function

    $string="your_character"
    $string = str_replace('your_character',' ',$string);
echo  $string;

Eg..

$string="037165L_55084L_1959Z"
    $string = str_replace('_55084L_1959Z',' ',$string);
echo  $string;

This regex should work for you:

 /([0-9]{5}[A-Za-z]).*([0-9]{5}[A-Za-z])/
