I'm looking for a way to take a 7 digit number and put it into xxx-xxxx format.
So basically the logic is to count 3 characters into $number and insert a "-" there.
substr_replace($string, '-', 3, 0);
Won't that replace the number, though, not insert the dash?
$formatted_number = preg_replace('/^([0-9]{3})/,'\1-',$number);
