Is there a way to do an input mask?

[JoshFink]

I want to have a profile field for Phone Numbers.

I want the phone numbers to be in the format (xxx) xxx-xxxx

I'm curious on how I would do this.

Thanks for the help

See this in register.php and member.php:

    // ENTER ANY CUSTOM FIELD VALIDATION HERE!

Put there preg_match statement, and see if the $$varname fits the pattern:

#\([0-9]{3}\) [0-9]{3}-[0-9]{4}#

Thanks, but wouldn't that REQUIRE them to enter in the correct format?

Is there a way so that they just enter 10 digits and it displays it like that?

Thanks

How do you expect them to enter it?
xxx xxx-xxxx
xxxxxx-xxxx
xxx xxx xxxx
??

Probably just :

xxxxxxxxxx

xxxxxxxxxx

Should be fine. I think it would be the easiest to format.

Thanks

In register.php and member.php replace this:

    $$varname=censortext($$varname);
    // ENTER ANY CUSTOM FIELD VALIDATION HERE!

With this:

    $$varname=censortext($$varname);
	if ($profilefield['profilefieldid'] == XX and preg_match('#[0-9]{10}#', $$varname)) {
		$$varname = '('.substr($$varname, 0, 3).') '.substr($$varname, 3, 3).'-'.substr($$varname, 6);
	}
    // ENTER ANY CUSTOM FIELD VALIDATION HERE!

(Without the spaces; quote this message to see the real source)
