August 31, 200917 yr i have found a script online that validates a form, the thing is i want it to validate a uk phone number and not the one it currently has, i have tried googling it but to no success! i was wondering if you lot could help me? what would be the code for a uk number? it currently has; if ( empty($_REQUEST['tele']) ) { $pass = 1; $alert .= "<li>" . $emptytele . "</li>"; } elseif ( !ereg( "\(?[0-9]{3}\)?[-. ]?[0-9]{3}[-. ]?[0-9]{4}", $_REQUEST['tele'] ) ) { $pass = 1; $alert .= "<li>" . $alerttele . "</li>"; } thanks guys for your help.
August 31, 200917 yr Change the expression within the "ereg" function to: ^(((\+44\s?\d{4}|\(?0\d{4}\)?)\s?\d{3}\s?\d{3})|((\+44\s?\d{3}|\(?0\d{3}\)?)\s?\d{3}\s?\d{4})|((\+44\s?\d{2}|\(?0\d{2}\)?)\s?\d{4}\s?\d{4}))(\s?\#(\d{4}|\d{3}))?$ So it should read: if (empty($_REQUEST['tele'])) { $pass = 1; $alert .= "<li>" . $emptytele . "</li>"; } elseif (!ereg( "^(((\+44\s?\d{4}|\(?0\d{4}\)?)\s?\d{3}\s?\d{3})|((\+44\s?\d{3}|\(?0\d{3}\)?)\s?\d{3}\s?\d{4})|((\+44\s?\d{2}|\(?0\d{2}\)?)\s?\d{4}\s?\d{4}))(\s?\#(\d{4}|\d{3}))?$",$_REQUEST['tele'])) { $pass = 1; $alert .= "<li>" . $alerttele . "</li>"; } The regular expression above allows the following variations of a UK telephone number: 01702 123 456 01702123456 +44 1702 123 456 +44 1702123456 Regards, Dan
August 31, 200917 yr Author Thanks for that Dan, but I just implemented it into my code and it doesn't seem to work, i don't know what's wrong, is it the code or is it something else?

August 31, 200917 yr What telephone number have you used to test it. All the UK telephone numbers I can think of work with that regular expression (i used http://regexpal.com/ to test). Could you post the rest of your code and a link to your site (if possible).
August 31, 200917 yr Author it must be my code then, here is the code... sendmail.php <?php /* This script was created by Bryan Helmig at midmodesign.com. It is licensed under http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/us/. 1) A quick primer: place this on your server. Create a form like below: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <form action="sendmail.php" method="post" id="contactForm"> <p>Name:</p> <input type="text" name="name" value="" id="name" /> <p>Email:</p> <input type="text" name="email" value="" id="email" /> <p>Telephone:</p> <input type="text" name="tele" value="" id="tele" /> <span style="display:none;"><p>Honeypot:</p> <input type="text" name="last" value="" id="last" /></span> <p>Message:</p> <textarea rows="5" name="message"></textarea> <input type="submit" value="Send Message" /> </form -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2) This will work fine for a standard form. If you want ajax power, add this div above or below and hide it with css. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <div class="message"><div id="alert"></div></div> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3) And add this to the head: Also download jquery-latest.pack.js and jquery.form.js and point to those appropriately. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-latest.pack.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.form.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function() { var options = { target: '#alert', beforeSubmit: showRequest, success: showResponse }; $('#contactForm').ajaxForm(options); }); function showRequest(formData, jqForm, options) { var queryString = $.param(formData); return true; } function showResponse(responseText, statusText) { } $.fn.clearForm = function() { return this.each(function() { var type = this.type, tag = this.tagName.toLowerCase(); if (tag == 'form') return $(':input',this).clearForm(); if (type == 'text' || type == 'password' || tag == 'textarea') this.value = ''; else if (type == 'checkbox' || type == 'radio') this.checked = false; else if (tag == 'select') this.selectedIndex = -1; }); }; </script> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Boom.

August 31, 200917 yr It seems to work fine, it just doesn't like the spaces for some reason. It can most likely be ammended to accept spaces but you may wish to just put in the error message "dont use spaces".
