Some people use period '.' in between fields...me for one. Its an old habit I have although I forget where I picked that up from. I am sure it was when I was working overseas...maybe Asia where I saw all phone numbers using . between fields. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gary" <garyb10@earthlink.net> To: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Saturday, April 06, 2002 8:52 PM Subject: [PHP] Phone number validation : Hi All, : I tried to cut a corner and use an alphabetic validation I am using : elsewhere : $stuff = "/^[a-zA-Z]+$/"; : if(preg_match($stuff, $value)) : : looks like I forgot about +( )- being in phone number.
