This function just makes sure there are 10 digits in a string, no matter what other characters there
are. I'm using it for validating any phone number in the world and requiring an area code.
It's far from perfect, but since I don't know which country the phone number is for,
it's good enough for my purposes:
<?php
function validPhone($str) {
$digits = split("[0-9]",$str);
return count($digits)>10;
}
?>
