Or you can sacrificie a few lines of code and use split:

list ($latitude, $longitude) = split (" ", "40:26:46.302N
79:56:55.903W");

And then parse for ':' and for '.', or preg match. Note you can also
do preg_split where you can dump your working regexp to create a list of
values to be used within another script.

Anybody motivated to write PEAR::GeoData?
