Answer

You can replace all chars other than lowercase letters with a space and trim the string:

$kamar = "12223233 sekamar berempat";
echo trim(preg_replace("/[^a-z]+/", " ", $kamar));
// => sekamar berempat

JavaScript
 
$kamar = "12223233 sekamar berempat";echo trim(preg_replace("/[^a-z]+/", " ", $kamar));// => sekamar berempat​

See the PHP demo.
