The reg ex argument you give to split is not the entire string pattern,
just the delimiter. You tell what pattern splits the string into pieces.
Now you're giving it the entire string pattern that does match the
whole string but so it basicly splits the string into two, the empty
before the string and the empty after the string.
You should be using preg_match 'stead of split. Try something like this:
preg_match("^[0-9a-zA-Z]{5}[0-9]{3}\.[0-9]{3}",$matches,$filename);
list($a, $b, $c,) = $matches;
