Thanks for any help, even if you just suggest built in functions to look

I'm looking for a way to take a 7 digit number and put it into xxx-

This is actually very easy to do if all you want to do is format,
meaning you have already valid
preg_replace will do it.
$returnValue = preg_replace("/(\d{3})(\d{3})(\d{4})/","($1)$2-$3",$returnValue);
(\d{3})(\d{3})(\d{4}) = $0 or \\0 we aren't using this match
we are using the subpatterns in brackets
(\d{3}) =$1 or \\1 matches 3 numbers
(\d{3}) =$2 or \\2 matches 3 numbers
(\d{4}) =$3 o
10 matches
