<p>Enabling the <strong>Entity API</strong> module lets you use entity
metadata wrappers to generate markup using the phone field.
<p>For more about this, please see the
<a href="https://www.drupal.org/docs/7/api/entity-api/property-info-for-fields">Entity API</a>
documentation @ Drupal.org.</p>
<h2>Example</h2>
<p>Below is an example function that makes use of entity field
wrappers to produce custom markup.</p>
<p>The API function <code>field_info_instance()</code> needs the
entity type passed as its first argument. In the example below, I
determine this by assuming that if the bundle is not “user” it must be
“node”. If you want to do this more more robustly, you may
use <code>field_info_field()</code> to get <em>all</em> the entity
types by that use the field, and then teh association between entity
type and bundle. The two code lines below shows how to get the data.
To figure out the correct entity type for the field instance is left
as an exercise for the reader.</p>
<pre>
$fif = field_info_field($fieldname);
dpm($fif['bundles'], 'fif - entity_type - N - bundle');
</pre>
<p>Here is the complete example function:</p>
<pre>
/**
* Example of using field wrappers.
*
* Demonstrate use of a field wrapper when a phonefield is attached to
* an entity.
*
* @param string $fieldname
* Name of the field to wrap.
* @param string/int $phoneno
* The phonenumber to look up.

function example_entity_wrapper($fieldname, $phoneno) {
if (!module_exists('entity')) {
return;
}
$eid = phonefield_get_entity_id($fieldname, $phoneno);
if (empty($eid)) {
drupal_set_message(t('No entity matching phonenumber @phoneno found.',
array('@phoneno' => $phoneno)));
return;
}
// Guess entity type: 'user' or 'node'. See above for getting all types.
$entity_type = 'user' == $eid['bundle'] ? 'user' : 'node';
$fii = field_info_instance($entity_type, $fieldname, $eid['bundle']);
if ('static' == $fii['settings']['linkstate']) {
// Get link label when link label is static.
$linklabel = $fii['settings']['linkvalue'];
}
else {
// Default to an empty label.
$linklabel = '';
}
// Load the entity. Expand for other entity types.
if ('user' == $entity_type) {
$entity = user_load($eid['entity_id']);
}
else {
$entity = node_load($eid['entity_id']);
}
$wrapped_entity = entity_metadata_wrapper($entity_type, $entity);
$phone_numbers = $wrapped_entity->$fieldname->value();
// Loop through all phone numbers attached to the node.
if ($phone_numbers) {
foreach ($phone_numbers as $key => $phone_number) {
if ('optional' == $fii['settings']['linkstate']) {
$linklabel = $phone_number['linklabel'];
}
$markup['phone'][$key] = [
'#markup' => '<span class="label">' . $linklabel . '</span>: '
. l($phone_number['phonenumber'], 'tel:' . $phone_number['normalized']),
];
}
foreach ($markup['phone'] as $phoneitem) {
drupal_set_message($phoneitem['#markup']);
}
}
}
</pre>
<p>Here is an example that shows how one may callthis function if the
phone field is named “<code>field_contact_phone</code>” and the
phonenumber is “+1 202-555-0155”.

<pre>
example_entity_wrapper('field_contact_phone', '+1 202-555-0155');
