I am working on an SMS app and need to be able to convert the sender\'s phone number from +11234567890 to 123-456-7890 so it can be compared to re
$data = '+11234567890'; if( preg_match( '/^\+\d(\d{3})(\d{3})(\d{4})$/', $data, $matches ) ) { $result = $matches[1] . '-' .$matches[2] . '-' . $matches[3]; return $result; }
