Hi,

 

I am fairly new to PHP, I am tryin to put a code together that would see my incoming CLI as 44 and remove the 44 from it and add a 0 to it. I have managed to do this so far, now I am stuck, as any number thats not matching the length (10 digits ) or is not starting with 44 is also not forwarded to my database for query.

 

$input = ($cid);
  if(preg_match('/^(44|0)(\d{10})$/',$input,$matches)){
    $phone = '0'.$matches[2];
 }else
    die("Invalid Phone Number") ;

 

What I would like is that any number starting with 441234567890 to become 01234567890, but should not involve 10 digits criteria.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

So you only want to apply it to numbers with more than 10 digits, if it is more replace 44 at the beginning of the number with a zero

 

Simple substr replacement should do the trick.

$num = '441234567890';

// number greater than 10 digits and beings with 44
if(strlen($num) > 10 && substr($num, 0, 2) == 44)
{
    $num = '0' . substr($num, 2); // ignore the first two digits and prepend the number with a zero
}
echo $num;
