Dear List -
I have the following code:
The input from the form is a 10 digit string [1234567890] which is
converted to phone number format [123-456-7890]
$phn = $_POST[phone];
$phn = (string)$phn;
$dsh = '-';
$Phn =
$phn[0].$phn[1].$phn[2].$dsh.$phn[3].$phn[4].$phn[5].$dsh.$phn[6].$phn[7].$phn[8].$phn[9];
echo $Phn; // this is folded by Thunderbird. In the script, it is
//all on one line
mysql_real_escape_string($Phn);
$sql1 ='select Lname, Fname from Customers where Phone = $Phn ';
echo $sql1; //this always shows $phn as Phn and not as a numerical
//string.
$result1 = mysqli_query($cxn, $sql1);
TIA
Ethan
