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
Any help is appreciated

If you're using vba, set the return value to the function name
formatPhoneNumber=$phonenumber;
also, use a different variable for setting the value, $phonenumber as this leads to confusion
