note 29637 added to function.sscanf

This is a better phone format function than the one above, handles leading zeroes correctly, by using the "%s" instead of "%d" argument to sscanf(). Again, this function assumes that the input has been stripped of all non-integer values. function formatPhone($phone) { if (empty($phone)) return ""; if (strlen($phone) == 7) sscanf($phone, "%3s%4s", $prefix, $exchange); else if (strlen($phone) == 10) sscanf($phone, "%3s%3s%4s", $area, $prefix, $exchange); else if (strlen($phone) > 10) sscanf($phone, "%3s%3s%4s%s", $area, $prefix, $exchange, $extension); else return "unknown phone format: $phone"; $out = ""; $out .= isset($area) ? '(' . $area . ') ' : ""; $out .= $prefix . '-' . $exchange; $out .= isset($extension) ? ' x' . $extension : ""; return $out; } -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.sscanf.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+29637 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+29637 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+29637
