= is an assignment operator. This will always test true, because $state
is set to 0 every time this is called. You want ==, which is a
comparison operator.

More like:
$phone = $_[PST[area] . "-" ......
You get the idea -- dashes need to be surrounded by quotes.

You can check the string length and see if it's within the bounds you
want. Look at the Strings section of the PHP manual for the proper

Nope. If someone entered 98115, then this would be > 5, since there's a
difference of 98110 integers :)
