[SOLVED] Validation question

[tqla]

I use this script to validate phone numbers. It works fine but the client wants to be able to accept a period (.) as well as a dash (-) between numbers. Where do I add the period? Thanks.

 

/* check phone for invalid format. */
    elseif ($field == "telephone" or
		$field == "mobile")
    {
      if(!ereg("^[0-9)( -]{7,20}(([xX]|(ext)|(ex))?[ -]?[0-9]{1,7})?$",$value))
      {
           $bad_format[] = $field;

Im thinking like this:

<?php
!ereg("^[0-9)( (-|\.)]{7,20}(([xX]|(ext)|(ex))?[ (-|\.)]?[0-9]{1,7})?$",$value)
?>
