ok, it's pretty trivial, I grant you, but this being my first smarty modifier plugin, i was too excited to keep it to myself. Cool

default format is (xxx) xxx-xxxx but you can pass it whatever sprintf-style format string you like.

[php:1:57377f565f]
<?php
/*
* Smarty plugin
* -------------------------------------------------------------
* File: modifier.format_phone.php
* Type: modifier
* Name: format_phone
* Purpose: format a 10-digit phone number
* -------------------------------------------------------------
*/


function smarty_modifier_format_phone($number, $format="(%s) %s-%s") {
$number = preg_replace("/\D/","",$number);
if (strlen($number) != 10) return $number;
$number = sprintf(
$format,
substr($number,0,3),
substr($number,3,3),
substr($number,6,4)
);
return $number;
}
?>
[/php:1:57377f565f]

usage:
Code:

Custom phone formatter: {"2128050362"|format_phone:'%s/%s.%s'}

A couple of suggestions:

In your logic, if the phone number isn't exactly 10 digits you return the stripped down value. It would be better to return the original value untouched.

Call the modifier "phone_format" instead of "format_phone" to coincide with the naming convention of "date_format"

It would be useful to accomodate phone numbers of other formats, such as international numbers, or if there was a "1" prepended to the number. I'll bet there are all kinds of phone number formatters out there you could look at to be sure the logic is complete and accurate.

Thanks for your contribution to smarty!

Code:



 /**
 
 * @desc<pre>Smarty plugin
 * -------------------------------------------------------------
 * File:     modifier.phone_format.php
 * Type:     modifier
 * Name:     format_phone
 * Purpose:  format a US-style 10-digit phone number
 * -------------------------------------------------------------
 *</pre>
 * @param string $number a phone number
 * @param $format a printf style format string
 * @return string $number, the number formatted if 10 digits, else original untouched.
 * @author dmintz@davidmintz.org
 */


function smarty_modifier_phone_format($number, $format="(%s) %s-%s") {

   $original = $number;
   $number = preg_replace("/\D/","",$number);
   if (strlen($number) != 10) return $original;
   return  sprintf(
         $format,
         substr($number,0,3),
         substr($number,3,3),
         substr($number,6,4)
      );
}




----

Changes:

* Change the name to conform to Smarty convention
* Added phpdoc style comments
* Added a wee itty bitty performance optimization (it now returns formatted string straight away, instead of saving it in $number and then returning it)

Enjoy!

Hi David,

Just to let you know that I've already written such a modifier: please see thread: http://www.phpinsider.com/smarty-forum/viewtopic.php?t=1364

The modifier supports several formatting options, multiple countries, toll-number (1-800, ...), extension information (i.e. Ext. # 123). The modifier attempts to clean the number from garbage characters such as dashes, dots and so on before formatting... (usefull when data collected have not been standardized.)

Modifier page is located here:

So if i were to use this phone plug in you posted how would i go about building the tpl page. Would i need separate textarea's for each part of the phone number? And which variables would i use with each?

Well, that was a good suggestion Mohrt. Just to make it sure the logic is accurate and complete in favor of different formatters of phone numbers. Thanks for that valuable information Mohrt.
