AH - yes of course.. Sometimes the most simple solutions are just too obvious to be seen - Thanks (maybe its time to stop coding for the day - clearly my mind is not sharp) code: $phone = '254' . substr(preg_replace('/[^0-9]*/', '', $input), -9); .. Mike On 7/24/11 11:13 PM, Rad! wrote:

A mobile number (in Kenya at any rate) Is composed of 9 digits (barring the zero and/or country code)
So a regex that removes all non digits from a given number and then captures 9 digits from the end of line should work consistently.
You can then add the leading 0 or the country prefix in code
