Ethan, I think you misunderstand, I'm saying that regardless of which format you use within the system, users could enter phone numbers as 1231231234 123 123 1234 123-123 1234 or any variant they like, that's completely orthogonal to how you validate and save the data, in all of those cases all you need to do string non-numeric chars to validate, you may also find your indexes work that bit quicker storing numbers rather than specially (and needlessly) formatted string. Likewise on the way back out, when presenting the numbers to users, all you need to do is string format them.

Really, this isn't a PHP question, but rather one of regular
expressions. That said, something like this (untested) should work:
?php
$numbers = array(
'123-456-7890',
'2-654-06547',
'sf34-asdf-',
'abc-def-ghij',
'555_555_',
'000-000-',
'8007396325',
'241-555-2091',
'800-555-0129',
'900-976-739',
'5352-342=452',
'200-200-2000',
);
foreach ($numbers as $n) {
echo $n.(validate_phone($n) ? ' is ' : ' is not ').'a valid
US/Canadian telephone number.'.PHP_EOL;
}
function validate_phone($number) {
if
(preg_match('/^[2-9]{1,}[0-9]{2,}\-[2-9]{1,}[0-9]{2,}\-[0-9]{4,}$/',trim($number)))
{
return true;
}
return false;
}
?
THIS
is the regex you want to use... it is the most complete one that has
been posted here, and it works.

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}$

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.

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.

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.

Re: [PHP] Re: [PHP-DB] Re: [PHP] Regex for telephone numbers
Why not have three separate fields for each part, as that way you don't
need to bother about how the user separates them, as trust me, if they
can break it, they will.
I have found it is best to always limit the amount of free entry you
permit a user, as that will drastically cut back in data entry validation.
