[SOLVED] Simple Function Help

[phpretard]

I am validating phone numbers.  I have to validate 3.

 

Do I need to copy this function 3 times or is there an easier way with less code?

 

$Phone="1234567890";

$AltPhone="0987654321";

$Fax="6543219870";

 

It works great for one!

 

function Phone($Phone) { 

    $stripped= preg_replace("/[^0-9]/", "", $Phone); 
    if(strlen($stripped) == 7) 
        return preg_replace("/([0-9]{3})([0-9]{4})/", "$1-$2",$stripped); 
    elseif(strlen($stripped) == 10) 
        return preg_replace("/([0-9]{3})([0-9]{3})([0-9]{4})/", "($1) $2-$3",$stripped); 
    else 
        return $Phone; 
}

 

Thank you!

You need to call the function 3 times, not copy it.

Like this?

 

<?php echo Phone($Phone); ?>
<?php echo Phone($AltPhone); ?>
<?php echo Phone($Fax); ?>

Indeed, or you could use a loop.

 

foreach (array("1234567890", "0987654321", "6543219870") as $phno) {
  echo Phone($phno);
}

 

Really no need though.

Thanks a million! 

 

I chose not to use the array but it worked both ways.
