Ell20 Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Hi, Im attempting to make a regular expression to check that the data input is a valid telephone number. Im looking to accept telephone numbers in either of these formats: +447973886123 or +4407973886123 or 07973886123 I have had ago but dont think its working correctly: if (eregi ("[a-z0-9\+]{11,14}", stripslashes(trim($_POST['contact_number'])))) { Appreciate any help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ell20 Posted February 12, 2008 Author Share Posted February 12, 2008 I have found one which is very simular and supposed to match what I am looking to match however it dosent actually work. (((\+44)? ?(\(0\))? ?)|(0))( ?[0-9]{3,4}){3} Could the reason it dosent work be that its coded for a different language? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revraz Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 You would probably get a better answer in the REGEX forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
