Telephone number column not working

I have a field telephone. Set to type :int: Length: 11 It's not working correctly, and not sure if it's my application or something I have wrongly set up for the database. We are talking about U.S. Telephone numbers here, so 7 digits (area code, exchange, unique number) Now it seems everything

One issue could be that an int column unsigned can only hold up to 4294967295 a ten digit number. Plus if you put it in a context of a phone number... only area codes 428 or lower will have ALL THE EXCHANGES and ALL THE UNIQUE NUMBERS in the range... with part of area code 429 A bigint will hold

Given the many 'standards' for formatting phone numbers, I would recommend using a char or varchar. Regex is intended for string types. Do yourself a favor run an alter table and change the column to a char or varchar. I hope this helps... Pat... [EMAIL PROTECTED] CocoNet Corporation SW

The problem is not a mysql problem, it's a php problem. It's probably because you don't have register_globals = On. The new versions of php have register_globals off by default. If you turn it on in the php.ini and restart apache, I bet it will work. Then again, I could just blame it on Novell

A 1:M (one to many) non-identifying means that the associated record in the -one- table is not a parent of the associated record in the -many- table, but rather just related. An example: an identifying 1:M would be a building which has many rooms. The -one- table carries data about the building
