That expression looks perfectly valid for the conditions you have stated
(given that you meant 12 digits, not 11, which would be correct for UK
mobiles). There must be some other kind of error.
As a first step, I suggest you do a var_dump($_POST['mobile_number']) to
make sure it's exactly what you think it should be. (And, yes, you should
be quoting the index to the $_POST[] array.)

However, if you mean genuine mobiles, and not pagers or other follow-me type
numbers in the UK 07 range (or even completely unallocated parts of it!),
then you need to refine that pattern a bit; this should do:
$regexp = "/^447[7-9][0-9]{8}$/";
Cheers!
