[SOLVED] Strip a 0 from a mobile number and add 44 instead?

[cr-ispinternet]

Hi All,

 

been toying with this for a while, but i need to do this

because its affecting the sending of sms thorugh an sms gateway

 

i need to be able to replace the 0 from $mobile_number with a 44

so basically well end up with this..

 

Original mobile: 07832128624

 

after str_replace or something like that 447832128624

 

had a quick go with it using str_replace and could get it to output

thanks to any who can show me how to sort it.

Sorted,

 

you look long enough you always fine it :-)

 

<?

 

$mobile_number = "07832128624";

$mobile = str_replace("0", "44", "$mobile_number");       

 

Print $mobile;

 

?>

What happens if there's a 0 in the middle of the number? You'd get 44's throughout the number, in places that you don't want them to be.

 

To take care of this problem, something like this will do the trick nicely:

 

<?php
$mobile_number = "07832128604";
$mobile = preg_replace("/^0(.*)/", "44\\1", $mobile_number);

print $mobile;
?>

thanks for the pointer :-)
