implement the mask to input eg for phone

I have found it is easier to let user enter however they want.

Then use model to strip to all numbers and then break in pieces and format before storing.

public function formatPhone()
{
    $pin = preg_replace ('/[^0-9]/i',"", $this->phone); // strip all but numbers
    if (!strlen($pin) == 10) return false;// Check for 10 digit phone number
    if (!$pin) return false;
    $area = substr($pin, 0, 3);
    $prefix = substr($pin, 3, 3);
    $station = substr($pin, 6, 4);
    $this->phone = '('.$area.')'.$prefix.'-'.$station;
}
