Exactly what I needed. Thanks, Barand!

Hi Everyone! I have a question. How do I insert characters into a string before I echo it to the browser? In my database, I store phone numbers as 10 digit numbers (5555555555) Assuming that I extract a row from the database and now the following is true: $row[phone] is equal to 5555555555 But I need to know how to insert a hyphen after the third and sixth character so I can echo it as: 555-555-5555 If anyone can help, I would appreciate it. Thanks!
