Server Side Scripting / Coding: Inserting phone number into form and database with php
Bottom of Page1 to 8 of 8

Can someone explain or direct how to insert a phone number in database as 555 555 555 all together once a form is processed. Don't know how to do this. Working on it a while. Let me know if you would like to see the code. I will direct to page. To save time, www.loadedmoment.com/formwork.html

You can just use str_replace to get rid of any spaces in the phone number:
http://us2.php.net/str_replace
so just say $phone1 = str_replace(" ", "", $_POST[phone1]) instead of $phone1 = "$_POST[phone1]" -
$phone = intval($_POST['phonePart1']) . intval($_POST['phonePart2']) . intval($_POST['phonePart3']);

Matt,
I'm assuming this code goes in the php processing form. If so, how do i write the output "echo" for the client to see what their submission was. I just tried putting in this line of code and when i ran it it generated "0000" for the number.
And finally, in a database do I need 3 seperate spots for this or just one long enough for the entire number.
$phone = intval($_POST['phone1']) . intval($_POST['phone2']) . intval($_POST['phone3']); (Is this still correct if this is how I have my code set. I took the "parts" out
echo "
Phone: $phone1. $phone2, $phone3

you could just output $phone.
If you insert the single $phone variable into the database, you'd just need one column in the table for phone number. If you use $phone1,$phone2,$phone3 you'll need 3 columns. -

Hey Marcus or anyone can you be more specific. Tried that and I still only get the last 4 digits to process. I have updated the page at www.loadedmoment.com/formwork.html

change:
$phone = "$_POST[phone]";
to:
$phone = implode('',$_POST['phone']);

thought I'd drop back and elaborate a little more. when you add brackets to an input name, you create an array:
<input type="text" name="phone[]" value="asdasd" />
submitting this would result in an array that looked like:
Array ( [phone] => Array ( [0] => asdasd ))
..supposing you have mulitple inputs for the phone number (which there is):
<input type="text" name="phone[areacode]" value="415" />
<input type="text" name="phone[prefix]" value="838" />
<input type="text" name="phone[suffix]" value="1212" />
on submit, you would get:
Array ( [phone] => Array ( [areacode] => 415 [prefix] => 838 [suffix] => 1212 ))
so now that you've got your keys structured, you can access then more easily like:
echo $_POST['phone']['areacode'];
// results in: 415
implode takes an array and builds a string out of it, so imploding the array "phone" ($_POST['phone']):
echo implode('',$_POST['phone']);
// results in: 5188381212
..hope it helps.
