Because it's a string. You can use regex matching or test
whether floor($var) == $var, for example.

It's a string, not an integer. Try using is_numeric() instead. To see
what type it is, do this :
echo gettype($phonenumber); // prints string
You may want to strip all non-numbers first, just in case they enter :
333-333-
Something like :
$phonenumber = preg_replace('/[^0-9]/','
