I got it; no idea why it wouldn't work last night, but ... this works fine:
-----------------
$acode = $code;
echo "<br />";
$acode = str_replace("-", "", $code)."<br />" ;
echo $acode." <br />";
echo "acode is : " . strlen($acode);
------- OUTPUT ---------
Original Code : 3622508-980
Length : 11 characters.
3622508980

acode is : 16
----------------------

Sorry for the false start;
Momentary brain fart I guess, but really irritating anyway!
