555-555-5555 to 5555555555:

$y = ’555-555-5555′;
$x = str_replace(‘-’, ”, $y);

Thanks for your work! I was in the same boat but, thanks to you, my Googling paid off immediately!

Thanks for the response Jay. That’s what I did, and it works flawlessly.

Use str_replace.

I need to go the other way around. I have a phone number I need to convert to a number. Like this: 555-555-5555 to 5555555555. How do I get rid of the dashes?
