how to trim a string into two Integers and one string (php)?

I have a question variable e.g. "4X9"

how can i split this into 3 different variables, to have an integer 4, integer 9 and string X ?

I tried using 

$arr = explode('X', $question);
    $before = $arr[0];

    $bbefore = str_replace('"', "", $before);
  $newBefore =(int)$before;`

and the same for after.

list($before, $x, $after) = str_split(str_replace('"', '', $question));

  1. Explode string by character using str_split()

  2. Use list() to make assigning them variables clearer

  3. If $before and/or $after are integers you can cast them after this line of code

    list($before, $x, $after) = str_split(str_replace('"', '', $question));
    $before = (int) $before;
    $after = (int) $after;
