note 60130 added to function.preg-match

Here's a format for matching US phone numbers in the following formats: ###-###-#### (###) ###-#### ########## It restricts the area codes to >= 200 and exchanges to >= 100, since values below these are invalid. <?php $pattern = "/(\([2-9]\d{2}\)\s?|[2-9]\d{2}-|[2-9]\d{2})" . "[1-9]\d{2}" . "-?\d{4}/"; ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-match.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+60130 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60130&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60130&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60130&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60130&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60130&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60130&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60130&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+60130&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
