Hi everyone,

Can someone please let me know of a regexp that i can use to strip out any non-numeric characters from a telephone number?

I was using this:

$tel = preg_replace('[^0-9]', '', $tel);

But it suddenly stopped working and i can't figure out why!

It's sorted now! Don't know why it wasn't working though!

Just for your reference...

http://regexlib.com/DisplayPatterns....6&categoryId=7

That page contains tons of regex patterns already made to handle phone numbers. They get a little more complex and can provide for much more accuracy in make sure phone numbers are valid.

Thanks
