ninedoors Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 I have a phone number column in my database that right now has a variety of different combination of formats. What I would like to do is have the phone number be stored as a 10 digit number, eg. 7058967841 and then I can format it the way I need to when I get it out. Is there a way to take each string I have and eliminate all characters except the numbers? So if I had (795) 456 - 2345 it would make it 7954562345. Thanks for the help.

nrg_alpha Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 $phoneNumber = '(795) 456 - 2345'; $phoneNumber = preg_replace('#[^0-9]#', '', $phoneNumber); Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/163651-phone-number-regex/#findComment-863485 Share on other sites More sharing options...
