I created a repo on PHP for this matter, see: https://github.com/WebRTB/address-splitter. it is still w.i.p. though pull requests are more then welcome.

hi, i've created a simplified version of this one, with some minor bug fixes, maybe it can help someone with further development. https://gist.github.com/R0B3RDV/e94c46c44a603e02afa2d226c6ef6367
