Standardize phone numbers in reviews

Guest082318's Avatar
It's hard to search by phone number on site and via google using site:eccie.net xxx-xxx-xxxx the problem is so many people use different formats like (xxx) xxx-xxxx which causes searches using xxx-xxx-xxxx to not find those because the search is looking for a specific single string.

This could be done using a simple PHP validation function that runs before database sanitization. It could also be a filter that runs on output. I would be happy to write the regex or write a simple forum plugin. Just a thought.
