line-wrapping is unintentional, no garantees as to how good it is.

I am trying to create a regular expression for a mobile phone number. The number must be 12 digits long(0-9) and begin with 447 and have no spaces. So far I have come up with this but it keeps telling me the number is invalid even when its correct!
Try this:
$regexp = "/447[0-9]{9}/"; if($_POST[mobile_number] != ''){ if(!preg_match( $regexp, $_POST[mobile_number] )){ $error = "Invalid Mobile Number";
header("Location:edit_rep.php?error=$error&rep_id=".$_GET[rep_id]."&client_i d=".$_GET[client_id]."&rep_name=".$_GET[rep_name]."&client_name=".$_GET[clie nt_name]."");
exit; } }
Also, your regexp is a little permissive; you can anchor it like so:
$regexp = "/^447[0-9]{9}$/";

Thanks for your reply Michal,
but the regular expression still seems to reject the number...
