[SOLVED] Change Straight numbers into Phone numbers?

[bri0987]

How can I change these two numbers into phone numbers?

 

5551231234

9009876789

 

 

echo INTO:

 

(555) 123-1234

(900) 987-6789

 

 

Thanks,

 

BRI

try the following

 

$number = 5551231234;

$number = preg_replace("/(\d{3})(\d{3})(\d{4})/","($1) $2-$3",$number);

print $number;

 

you can also achieve the same through substr

you can also achieve the same through substr

 

That would be

 

$phonenumber = "(" . substr($string,0,3)  . ") " . substr($string,3,3) . "-" . substr($string,6,4);
