  • what is wrong with this code?

    function formatPhoneNumber($phoneNumber) {

    $phoneNumber = preg_replace('/[^0-9]/','',$phoneNumber);

    if(strlen($phoneNumber) > 10) {

    $countryCode = substr($phoneNumber, 0, strlen($phoneNumber)-10);

    $areaCode = substr($phoneNumber, -10, 3);

    $nextThree = substr($phoneNumber, -7, 3);

    $lastFour = substr($phoneNumber, -4, 4);

    $phoneNumber = '+'.$countryCode.' ('.$areaCode.') '.$nextThree.'-'.$lastFour;

    }

    else if(strlen($phoneNumber) == 10) {

    $areaCode = substr($phoneNumber, 0, 3);

    $nextThree = substr($phoneNumber, 3, 3);

    $lastFour = substr($phoneNumber, 6, 4);

    $phoneNumber = '('.$areaCode.') '.$nextThree.'-'.$lastFour;

    }

    else if(strlen($phoneNumber) == 7) {

    $nextThree = substr($phoneNumber, 0, 3);

    $lastFour = substr($phoneNumber, 3, 4);

    $phoneNumber = $nextThree.'-'.$lastFour;

    }

    return $phoneNumber;

    }

    For some reason I get the number back as it was ie.12345467890 instead of (123)456-7890

  • Easy 10 Pts PHP email question?

    I run my web form through my PHP script.

    The problem is in my headers:

    when I use the following code:

    $headers = "From: $name\r\n";

    $headers .="Sent: $datetimestamp\r\n";

    $headers .= "Subject: $email_subject\r\n";

    $name comes into Outlook like this Dxxxx.Nugxxx@p3slh075.shr.phx3.secureserver.net

    How do I strip out everything after the @ and get rid of the dots so it formats like so:

    Charlie & Rose Mxxxx <badboy@bellsouth.net>
