         echo intval($matches[0][1])-intval($matches[0][0])+1;

Not sure if this is doing what you want... if not, clarify if there are any edge cases that don't match, but based on your examples this should work.

<?php

$code = "123x0001-123x0500";
preg_match("/^\d+x(\d+)-\d+x(\d+)$/", $code, $matches);
echo intval($matches[2]) - intval($matches[1]) + 1;

?>

OUTPUT:

500

.

<?php

$codes = array("123x0001-123x0500",  "123x0021-123x0100", "123x0001-123x0300");

function getDiff($range) {
    preg_match("/^\d+x(\d+)-\d+x(\d+)$/", $range, $matches);
    return intval($matches[2]) - intval($matches[1]) + 1;
}

foreach ($codes as $code) {
    echo getDiff($code) . "\n";
}

?>

OUTPUT

500
80
300

Not sure how the S, A, B, C values are supposed to be computed. Perhaps you can elaborate on that.
