Re: Re: Regex for telephone numbers

You could also help them out a little with something like.. $phone = str_replace("(", "", $phone); $phone = str_replace(")", "-", $phone); HTH, Karl On Dec 29, 2010, at 6:27 PM, Josh Kehn wrote:

Dear List - Thank you for all your help in the past. Here is another one.... I would like to have a regex which would validate that a telephone number is in the format xxx-xxx-xxxx. Thanks.

You can't, phone numbers are more complex then that. You could use \d{3}-\d{3}-\d{4} to match that basic pattern for all numbers though.
