Numbers to a Phone number

[cooldude832]

I have a field that stores phone numbers as flat digits (1555555555) is 1(555)555.5555 and I was wondering if there is a way to turn digits to a phone nubmer based on country?  anyone heard of anything like that

erm.. do you mean like this

 

<?php
$tel = "(15555555555)"; //added a 5 as it didn't make sense!
$tel = preg_replace('/\((\d?)([0-9]{3})[-. ]?([0-9]{3})[-. ]?([0-9]{4})\b\)/s', '+\1 (\2) \3-\4', $tel );
?>

 

+1 (555) 555-5555

Using that function you could

 

php
$tel = array (
                'US' => '+1 (###) ###.####',
                'UK' => '+44 ### ### ####'
            );
            
$phone = '5555555555';
$loc = 'US';

echo format_template ($phone, $tel[$loc]), '<br>';


$phone = '5555555555';
$loc = 'UK';

echo format_template ($phone, $tel[$loc]), '<br>'; 
?>

Na trying to rebuild phone numbers for a site, but make it dependent on the users location.  But i'm debating if I want it in terms of end user or the person's number they are viewing
