Try this :

$str = '1.8 to 250';
preg_match_all('!\d+!', $str, $matches);
print_r($matches);

I was able to find the answer from the link you provided thanks! – fizjin Sep 22 '15 at 07:48
Consider using this expression '/\d+/' since "/" is the standard regex delimiter, and using other delimiters only adds confusion. – Amarnasan Sep 22 '15 at 07:49

Try this:

   $str = '1.8 to 250';
   $string = explode(" ",$str);
   //print_r($string);
  for($i = 0;$i < count($string);$i++){
     if(is_numeric($string[$i])){
        print "\n $string[$i]";
     }  
  }
