Formatting a phone number?

[Trig]

I like the mail from to accept any 10 digit phone number and then in the process.php have the phone number concerted to the format xxx-xxx-xxxx How is this done?

OR

On the form side force the user to entering the phone number in the xxx-xxx-xxxx format. How is this done?

Thank you!

Ally,

One follow-up question. I used your server side fix using a Regex validator. How do I also make $phone a required field?

Thanks again!

Never mind, I got it. For anyone else interested in this thread, this works:

$phone->addValidator('required');

$phone->addValidator('regex', array('pattern' => '/^[0-9]{3}-[0-9]{3}-[0-9]{4}$/', 'messages' => array('not_match' => 'Please enter the phone number in the format XXX-XXX-XXXX')));
