[SOLVED] To get phone number from datas.

[chanchelkumar]

Hi friends,

 

I have a bunch of variables, one for each of our employees. Included in these variables are phone numbers: work phone in format (XXX) XXXXXXX etc. How can I write a script that searches for and extracts the phone numbers from these variables?

Based on your data set:

 

<pre>
<?php
$data = 'front street Unique historical building Office Space - 1925 square foot + Call xxx-xxx-xxxx (18 Nov 2007) (xxx) xxxxxxx, - xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx';
preg_match_all('/
	\(?\d{3}\)?
	\D?
	\d{3}
	\D?
	\d{4}
/x', $data, $matches);
print_r($matches);
?>
</pre>

 

Tip: Avoid being excessive in smilies () and punctuation?!?!. It's unnecessary.

Normally we don't provide full code examples without some work from you.  Unless you don't know anything about PHP, we're here to help you when you get stuck with the code, not write it for you.

 

Also, please be careful about using personal/work information about locations and/or phone numbers in the future.  I've removed all the references from the thread.  It may not bother you, but others could use the information in a malicious manner.
