Formatting Phone Numbers in PHP

Question

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

Answer 1

Try something like:

preg_replace('/\d{3}/', '$0-', str_replace('.', null, trim($number)), 2);

this would take a $number of 8881112222 and convert to 888-111-2222. Hope this helps.
