I'm using a regular expression (below) to check phone numbers. I'm getting
an error that I can't make sense of.
$regex = "^((\(\d{3}(\) -))?*\d{3}(- )\d{4},?*)+$";
Output I'm getting =
Warning: REG_BADRPT in /home/basemen/public_html/verify_order.php on line 28
Anyone know what this means? I know it's not bitching about the phone
number, it's bitching about the expression. But why? Some thing wrong with
the expression? It works fine in PERL, which this is supposed to be
compatible with.
