returning a formatted phone number?

hi
so i can make the custom field for “public phone number” display just fine… except, i’d prefer if it could be formatted like a phone number… eg. xxx-xxx-xxxx or (xxx) xxx-xxxx or something, rather than just xxxxxxxxxx…

any suggestions? i’m not a programmer, but i hack ok 🙂
i assume it would be some kind of argument on in here
?php echo bp_member_profile_data( 'field=Public Phone Number' ); ?>
something like &format=WHATEVER inside those ()’s?

would this be standard php i could find somewhere?

You could try looking at https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-xprofile-custom-fields-type/ to see how they do it. I think one of the profile field types is ‘number’ – so that might be the best place to start.

i was really trying to avoid using ANOTHER plugin tho… this should be possible, shouldn’t it?
