<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
The phone numbers in my DB have this format:<br />
(307)266-3290<br />
<br />
I would like to convert them all to this format:<br />
307-266-3290<br />
<br />
I think I have to use SELECT CONCAT but not sure how to write the query or optionally just change the output in php.

PHP is a widely-used server-side scripting language especially suited for web development, powering tens of millions of sites from Facebook to personal WordPress blogs. PHP is often paired with the MySQL relational database, but includes support for most other mainstream databases. By utilizing different Server APIs, PHP can work on many different web servers as a server-side scripting language.

MySQL is an open source, relational database management system that runs as a server providing multi-user access to a number of databases. Acquired by Oracle in 2009, it is frequently used in combination with PHP installations, powering most of the WordPress installations.
