sandbudd Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 I have a mysql database that has the complete phone numbers but the are for example 1234567890... how would I extract just the first three number area code? Here is the code that I have that works great thanks to PHP Freaks! <?php include "password_protect_page.php"; ?> <h2>Search</h2> <form name="search" method="post" action="<?=$PHP_SELF?>"> Seach for: <input type="text" name="find" /> in <Select NAME="field"> <Option VALUE="Company">Company</option> <Option VALUE="Address">Address</option> <Option VALUE="City">City</option> <Option VALUE="State">State</option> <Option VALUE="Zip">Zip Code</option> <Option VALUE="ContactName">Contact Name</option> <Option VALUE="ContactEmail">Email</option> <Option VALUE="SIC8Code">SIC8Code</option> </Select> <input type="hidden" name="searching" value="yes" /> <input type="submit" name="search" value="Search" /> </form> <?php //This is only displayed if they have submitted the form if ($searching =="yes") { echo "<h2>Results</h2><p>"; //If they did not enter a search term we give them an error if ($find == "") { echo "<p>You forgot to enter a search term"; exit; } // Otherwise we connect to our Database mysql_connect("", "", "") or die(mysql_error()); mysql_select_db("") or die(mysql_error()); // We preform a bit of filtering $find = strtoupper($find); $find = strip_tags($find); $find = trim ($find); //Now we search for our search term, in the field the user specified $data = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `IO#9753#1` WHERE upper($field) LIKE'%".$find."%' ORDER BY Company ASC" ); $num_rows = mysql_num_rows($data); // Display the results echo "<b>Searched For:</b> " .$find; echo "<br>"; echo "<b>Total Records Found = </b> " .$num_rows; //And we display the results echo "<br>"; echo "<br>"; while($result = mysql_fetch_array( $data )) { echo $result['Company']; echo "<br>"; echo $result['Address']; echo "<br>"; echo $result['City']; echo " "; echo $result['State']; echo " "; echo $result['Zip']; echo "<br>"; echo $result['ContactName']; echo "- "; echo $result['ContactTitle']; echo "<br>"; echo $result['ContactEmail']; echo "<br>"; echo $result['SIC8Code']; echo "<br>"; echo "<br>"; } //This counts the number or results - and if there wasn't any it gives them a little message explaining that $anymatches=mysql_num_rows($data); if ($anymatches == 0) { echo "Sorry, but we can not find an entry to match your query<br><br>"; } } ?> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/146401-trying-to-seperate-area-code-out-of-mysql-database/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
