RE: [PHP] verify phone number

[Johnson, Kirk]

One way:

$phone = ereg_replace([^0-9], , $phone);
if(!ereg(^[0-9]{10}$,$phoneHome)) {
  echo error;
}

You could also check the string length after removing all non-numbers.

You should use a regex for this.  Something like...

if (ereg ([0-9]{3}-[0-9]{3}-[0-9]{4}, $number)) {
print good\n;
} else {
print bad\n;
}

The regexp breaks down like this:

[0-9]{3}[0-9]{3}[0-9]{4}
(three numbers)-(three numbers)-(four numbers)

I didn't test the code above, so let me know if it won't work for you.


Regards,

Sean
