Bah, you're absolutely correct. Force of habit with the commas.
I didn't even notice the sample test cases I put into that test array
didn't check for more than the number of digits per field, either.
Good catch, Jim, and Happy New Year.

Actually...
Specified here [1] it says that the {1,} is the same as '+'. I think you should
drop the comma. If you don't this would be valid 844-2345-123456
^[2-9]{1,}[0-9]{2,}\-[2-9]{1,}[0-9]{2,}\-[0-9]{4,}$
should be
^[2-9]{1}[0-9]{2}\-[2-9]{1}[0-9]{2}\-[0-9]{4}$

Not quite. Plus, all ereg* functions have been deprecated for
some time now.

Just keep in mind that invalid numbers will also pass that check,
such as 000-000- or 123-456-6789. That's why my example was a bit
more involved.

You can't, phone numbers are more complex then that. You could use
\d{3}-\d{3}-\d{4} to match that basic pattern for all numbers though.

Josh -
I used use \d{3}-\d{3}-\d{4}.
It works beautifully!!
FYI [to all the list] -- I thank all for their input. I only needed
US phones, and I am forcing the user of the form to conform to
xxx-xxx- as the input format.

Re: [PHP-DB] Re: [PHP] Regex for telephone numbers
You could also help them out a little with something like..
$phone = str_replace("(", "", $phone);
$phone = str_replace(")", "-", $phone);

Re: [PHP-DB] Re: [PHP] Regex for telephone numbers
Hi Ethan,
Could you do a string compare and check at certain characters for a
dash?
IE:
check the second character to see if it is a dash for 1-800...
if that is not a dash, check the fourth character for a dash, 469-9...
then the other places where dashes would be based on those two
characters.
You may have to investigate how international numbers would work and
adjust appropriately, but for the US, that should work.
Then just send an error message when it isn't like you want.
