zpupster Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 hello, has anyone seen an addon that formats the telephone numbers from the customers database so that when they are called are displayed as (555)555-5555 ? i have been googling and searching for a while now and have not found an answer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_mcs Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I doubt that there is an addon for that. It would be something coded per site since there are so many ways to do it. I may be wrong though.

zpupster Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 this the function i used in invoice.php <?php function format_telephone($phone_number) { $cleaned = preg_replace('/[^[:digit:]]/', '', $phone_number); preg_match('/(\d{3})(\d{3})(\d{4})/', $cleaned, $matches); return "({$matches[1]}) {$matches[2]}-{$matches[3]}"; } ?> called it here: <td class="main"><?php echo format_telephone($order->customer['telephone']); ?></td> this works, but should i put the function in a different area of oscommerce.

Bob Terveuren Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Hi - you should pop that function into includes/functions/general.php and admin/includes/functions/general.php which would allow you to use it anywhere in the site (you'd also need to remove it from invoice.php) An anternative would be to use a jQuery mask on the create_account/account_edit pages so that the number input would hit the database in your desired format or run your function on the database input from create_account (but that kind of assumes that you only ever,ever,ever get US customers and would screw up existing ones - OK so that's a maybe for a new store :-(( ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
