Phone Number format

[kdipaolo]

Hi,

Right now when a customer enters a phone number they just enter it into one box (ex: 1234567890). Is there an easy way to make the phone number box three boxes (ex [111] [222] [3333])?

Thanks

Why is that necessary?
Is there some particular business reason for wanting that? Or is it just a cosmetic preference you yourself have?

my boss told me to do it...

Ask him/her the same question.

They said its because a lot of the time they get orders that have phone numbers with either one less number or an extra number added on, with three separate blocks ([xxx] [xxx] [xxxx] ) there would be less error from the customer. It doesn't seem necessary to me but thats what they want, any ideas?

Thanks.

Do you sell to countries outside of the USA?

If so, forcing your telephone numbering format will cause problems. Other countries use different numbering systems.

we sell to US and Canada...

Here are some PHP examples using RegEx.

You'd need to get otther to advise you on embedding it in your ZC code,
