Wrong place! PHP is a server-side language.

Re: [PHP] Formatting input text?
As Oliver says, it is possible in PHP, but then you have to do it, AFTER the form is submitted... Just do some regular expressions on your data before displaying / storing it...

Suggestion: a.)try this in JavaScript on the client side, you have to check if the valid chars/numbers are entered otherwise the page will be not send. b.) check the form, whem the page arrives on the server, and if the vals are not correct, send the page back to be corrected by the user.

Just use javascript... (be careful, what works with IE, doesn't automatically work with Netscape)...
