[RESOLVED] phone number as string

[afrankford]

Is there a way to convert a phone number captured in an HTML form to a string? The variable exists in the $_POST array as an integer I assume because strlen() does not return a value.

if(strlen ($_POST['dphone']) > 0) {
echo "Daytime Phone: $dphone<br><br>";
}  

This worked with my name variables and address variables, but I have had no luck with the phone number.

I realize this is a very basic check, but I want to start simple and work my way up. I would appreciate any input.

Thanks,
afrankford

As far as i know (i might be wrong), All the post variables are strings. so you should be able to do what you are trying to do. if not, check the variable names are the same or not.

If not, post the full script so we should be able to help.
