OK.
I can appreciate that there is a lot of code involved. I know that you have worked a very long time to make eAuction where I want to change it.

But without debating the issues surrounding ecommerce liabilities, I would still like to alter this script to function without asking for a person's telephone number. I do not require it. To be quite truthful, no current auction venue will ever verify your existence by calling you on the telephone. Or faxing you.

When I registered for this forum, you didn't call me.
When I registered for eBay, they didn't call me.
When I registered for paypal, they didn't call me.

I take all of my online payments through paypal. They carry the responsibility for keeping the clients financial information safe. They provide the SSL, the encryption and FDIC insurance.

I take personal checks from folks in 9 countries so far, as long as they are drawn on a US bank. I have never had one bounce in 4 years. My customers are all grownups. They do not need me to police them.

All I need to collect is just enough information to ship the item to them.

Villager,

This is what I would try first if I were trying to do what you are.
Look for all occurances of $form{'PHONE'}'; and hard code some number into it like $form{'PHONE'} = '0049-123-456789';
Then go the "Post A New Item Form" (also the Change Registration) and remark out the HTML code for the Phone entry:
FROM: <tt>$txt{'Phone'}:</tt><br>
<input name="PHONE" type="TEXT" size="30" value="$phone"><br>
<tt>$txt{'FAX'}:</tt><br>

TO: 

ITake a look at Sub: Make Test-Items where Dieter has set up the Test form information as hard coded.

Not sure if this would work but it is where I would start the process. If that failed I would see what using hidden values (in the forms) for the phone variable would do.
