So, 91441234567 and 9 1 4 4 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 aren't valid?
You *could* apply a rule here, but it's fallible.
1. Strip out everything thats not a number (ereg_replace("[^0-9]", "")).
2. Count the number of digits.
a. If there's less than 7 digits, its invalid.
b. 7 digits is valid, local number format.
c. 8, 9, and 10 digit numbers are invalid.
d. 11 digits is valid, international format.
Of course, if someone has a mobile phone this will fall flat on its
face (in Australia, our phone numbers have 8 digits and our mobiles
have 10 digits - this is the same in a number of countries).
My advice, check that there's at least 7 digits and let it go.

Re: [PHP] Regex for telephone number
Thanks for the reply. I'd like to ensure that numbers entered are in any of these formats: 123 4567 1234567 +91 44 123 4567 +91 44 1234567 91-44-123 4567 91-44-1234567 Number will be a minimum of 5 digits.

RE: [PHP] Regex for telephone number
> Can someone help me out with a regex to validate a phone number? That's a tough one, because 555- is just as valid as 1-800-BILLME. And here in Australia we have 131166 (yes, all you Aussies, that *IS* Pizza Hut's number... I couldn't think of any others :)) The best you can really do is make sure that its over a certain length.

Re: [PHP] Regex for telephone number
case "phone_us":
if(ereg("^([2-9][0-9]{2})([2-9][0-9]{2})([0-9]{4})$", $var)){
return TRUE;
}else{
set_stringtypes_error(throw_error3("lib_string_types_108", $var));
}
break;
case "phone_int":
if(!preg_match("/[^0-9\(\)\-\. ]/", $var)){
return TRUE;
}else{
set_stringtypes_error(throw_error("lib_string_types_109", $var));
}
break;
works good for us.
that's from the stringtypes lib in binarycloud. we're going to convert all
of that stuff to be stored as rules in XML... groovy changes are afoot!
