Josh -
I used use \d{3}-\d{3}-\d{4}.
It works beautifully!!
Just keep in mind that invalid numbers will also pass that check,
such as 000-000- or 123-456-6789. That's why my example was a bit
more involved.
Hi Ethan,
Could you do a string compare and check at certain characters for a
dash?
IE:
check the second character to see if it is a dash for 1-800...
if that is not a dash, check the fourth character for a dash, 469-9...
then the other places where dashes would be based on those two
You could also help them out a little with something like..
$phone = str_replace((, , $phone);
$phone = str_replace(), -, $phone);
HTH,
Karl

Dear List -
Thank you
Why not have three separate fields for each part, as that way you don't
need to bother about how the user separates them, as trust me, if they
can break it, they will.
I have found it is best to always limit the amount of free entry you
permit a user, as that will drastically cut back in data
