You should use a regex for this.  Something like...

if (ereg ("[0-9]{3}-[0-9]{3}-[0-9]{4}", $number)) {
        print "good\n";
} else {
        print "bad\n";
}

The regexp breaks down like this:

[0-9]{3}        [0-9]{3}        [0-9]{4}
(three numbers)-(three numbers)-(four numbers)

I didn't test the code above, so let me know if it won't work for you.
