Validating US phone number with php/regex_问答_开发者

EDIT: I've mixed and modified two of the answers given below to form the full function which now does what I had wanted and then some... So I figured I'd post it here in case anyone else comes looking for this same thing.

/*
 * Function to analyze string against many popular formatting styles of phone numbers
 * Also breaks phone number into it's respective components
 * 3-digit area code, 3-digit exchange code, 4-digit subscriber number
 * After which it va开发者_StackOverflow社区lidates the 10 digit US number against NANPA guidelines
*/
function validPhone($phone) {

  $format_pattern = '/^(?:(?:\((?=\d{3}\)))?(\d{3})(?:(?<=\(\d{3})\))?[\s.\/-]?)?(\d{3})[\s\.\/-]?(\d{4})\s?(?:(?:(?:(?:e|x|ex|ext)\.?\:?|extension\:?)\s?)(?=\d+)(\d+))?$/';
  $nanpa_pattern = '/^(?:1)?(?(?!(37|96))[2-9][0-8][0-9](?<!(11)))?[2-9][0-9]{2}(?<!(11))[0-9]{4}(?<!(555(01([0-9][0-9])|1212)))$/';

  //Set array of variables to false initially
  $valid = array(
    'format' => false,
    'nanpa' => false,
    'ext' => false,
    'all' => false
  );

  //Check data against the format analyzer
  if(preg_match($format_pattern, $phone, $matchset)) {
    $valid['format'] = true;    
  }

  //If formatted properly, continue
  if($valid['format']) {

    //Set array of new components
    $components = array(
      'ac' => $matchset[1], //area code
      'xc' => $matchset[2], //exchange code
      'sn' => $matchset[3], //subscriber number
      'xn' => $matchset[4], //extension number
    );

    //Set array of number variants
    $numbers = array(
      'original' => $matchset[0],
      'stripped' => substr(preg_replace('[\D]', '', $matchset[0]), 0, 10)
    );

    //Now let's check the first ten digits against NANPA standards
    if(preg_match($nanpa_pattern, $numbers['stripped'])) {
      $valid['nanpa'] = true;
    }

    //If the NANPA guidelines have been met, continue
    if($valid['nanpa']) {
      if(!empty($components['xn'])) {
        if(preg_match('/^[\d]{1,6}$/', $components['xn'])) {
          $valid['ext'] = true;
        }
      }
      else {
        $valid['ext'] = true;
      }
    }

    //If the extension number is valid or non-existent, continue
    if($valid['ext']) {
      $valid['all'] = true;
    }
  }
  return $valid['all'];
}

You can resolve this using a lookahead assertion. Basically what we're saying is I want a series of specific letters, (e, ex, ext, x, extension) followed by one or more number. But we also want to cover the case where there's no extension at all.

Side Note, you don't need brackets around single characters like [\s] or that [x] that follows. Also, you can group characters that are meant to be in the same spot, so instead of \s?\.?/?, you can use [\s\./]? which means "one of any of those characters"

Here's an update with regex that resolves your comment here as well. I've added the explanation in the actual code.

<?php
    $sPattern = "/^

                (?=\d{3}\))                 # Lookahead.  Only if we have 3 digits and a closing parentheses
            )?
            (\d{3})                         # 3 Digit area code

The current REGEX

/^[\(]?(\d{0,3})[\)]?[\.]?[\/]?[\s]?[\-]?(\d{3})[\s]?[\.]?[\/]?[\-]?(\d{4})[\s]?[x]?(\d*)$/

has a lot of issues, resulting in it matching all of the following, among others:
(0./ -000 ./-0000 x00000000000000000000000)
()./1234567890123456789012345678901234567890
\)\-555/1212 x

I think this REGEX is closer to what you're looking for:

/^(?:(?:(?:1[.\/\s-]?)(?!\())?(?:\((?=\d{3}\)))?((?(?!(37|96))[2-9][0-8][0-9](?<!(11)))?[2-9])(?:\((?<=\(\d{3}))?)?[.\/\s-]?([0-9]{2}(?<!(11)))[.\/\s-]?([0-9]{4}(?<!(555(01([0-9][0-9])|1212))))(?:[\s]*(?:(?:x|ext|extn|ex)[.:]*|extension[:]?)?[\s]*(\d+))?$/

This modification provides several improvements.

It creates a configurable group of items that can match as the extension. You can add additional delimiters for the extension. This was the original request. The extension also allows for a colon after the extension delimter.
It converts the sequence of 4 optional delimiters (dot, whitespace, slash or hyphen) into a character class that matches only a single one.
It groups items appropriately. In the given example, you can have the opening parentheses without an area code between them, and you can have the extension mark (space-x) without an extension. This alternate regular expression requires either a complete area code or none and either a complete extension or none.
The 4 components of the number (area code, central office code, phone number and extension) are the back-referenced elements that feed into $matches in preg_match().
Uses lookahead/lookbehind to require matched parentheses in the area code.
Allows for a 1- to be used before the number. (This assumes that all numbers are US or Canada numbers, which seems reasonable since the match is ultimately made against NANPA restrictions. Also disallows mixture of country code prefix and area code wrapped in parentheses.
It merges in the NANPA rules to eliminate non-assignable telephone numbers.
1. It eliminates area codes in the form 0xx, 1xx 37x, 96x, x9x and x11 which are invalid NANPA area codes.
2. It eliminates central office codes in the form 0xx and 1xx (invalid NANPA central office codes).
3. It eliminates numbers with the form 555-01xx (non-assignable from NANPA).

It has a few minor limitations. They're probably unimportant, but are being noted here.

There is nothing in place to require that the same delimiter is used repeatedly, allowing for numbers like 800-555.1212, 800/555 1212, 800 555.1212 etc.
There is nothing in place to restrict the delimiter after an area code with parentheses, allowing for numbers like (800)-555-1212 or (800)/5551212.

The NANPA rules are adapted from the following REGEX, found here: http://blogchuck.com/2010/01/php-regex-for-validating-phone-numbers/

/^(?:1)?(?(?!(37|96))[2-9][0-8][0-9](?<!(11)))?[2-9][0-9]{2}(?<!(11))[0-9]{4}(?<!(555(01([0-9][0-9])|1212)))$/

Why not convert any series of letters to be "x". Then that way you would have all possibilities converted to be "x".

Check for 3digits, 3digits, 4digits, 1orMoreDigits and disregard any other characters inbetween

Regex: ([0-9]{3}).*?([0-9]{3}).*?([0-9]{4}).+?([0-9]{1,})

Alternatively, you could use some pretty simple and straightforward JavaScript to force the user to enter in a much more specified format. The Masked Input Plugin ( http://digitalbush.com/projects/masked-input-plugin/ ) for jQuery allows you to mask an HTML input as a telephone number, only allowing the person to enter a number in the format xxx-xxx-xxxx. It doesn't solve your extension issues, but it does provide for a much cleaner user experience.

Well, you could modify the regex, but it won't be very nice -- should you allow "extn"? How about "extentn"? How about "and then you have to dial"?

I think the "right" way to do this is to add a separate, numerical, extension form box.

But if you really want the regex, I think I've fixed it up. Hint: you don't need [x] for a single character, x will do.

/^\(?(\d{0,3})\)?(\.|\/)|\s|\-)?(\d{3})(\.|\/)|\s|\-)?(\d{4})\s?(x|ext)?(\d*)$/

You allowed a dot, a slash, a dash, and a whitespace character. You should allow only one of these options. You'll need to update the references to $matches; the useful groups are now 0, 2, and 4.

P.S. This is untested, since I don't have a reference implentation of PHP running. Apologies for mistakes, please let me know if you find any and I'll try to fix them.
