I use these two functions for American phone numbers which you can easily
modify:
<?php
function phone_format ($phone)
{
$len = strlen($phone);
if ($len>=10){
$str = sprintf("%s-%s-%s", substr($phone,0,3), substr($phone,3,3),
substr($phone,6,4));
if (strlen($phone)>10){
$str .= sprintf(" x%s", substr($phone,10,99));
}
}elseif ($len>=0){
$str = $phone;
}
return $str;
}
function phone_unformat ($phone)
{
return (ereg_replace("[^0-9]", "", $phone));
}
?>
