How are you storing the phone number on the back end? Alternately, how are you processing it? One way to ensure that a (numerical) phone number is treated as a string, especially by PHP, is to add some [string] characters. ie, convert 5551231234 to (555)123-1234 or 555-123-1234 or however you want to do it. And process it accordingly on the server. But the point being that when PHP looks at that value, it will definitely see a string and not an int. Just a thought. Chris
