Hi
everyone,
I'm trying to create some code to validate/sanitize mobile
phone numbers entered by users, for use with SMS gateways.
So far I have the following:
729974802 becomes: 254729974802
0729974802 becomes: 254729974802
0 729 974 802 becomes: 254729974802
254 729974802 becomes: 254729974802
+254 729974802 becomes:
254729974802
(254) 7 29974802 becomes: 254729974802
+(254) 7 29974802 becomes: 254729974802
(+254) (0) 7 29974802 becomes:
254729974802
However I am not sure that I have captured all the different
ways that a Kenyan mobile-phone number could be entered.
So the question to you all is: are there more ways a number
could be entered ?
n.b. if anyone is interested the code for the above is (in
php):
$phone = '254' . preg_replace('/^\+?(\(?\+?254\)?)?(\(?0\)?)?7/',
'7', str_replace(' ', '', $input));
..
Mike
