First i'm not a php scripter

I want to check if the user has put in 10 numbers

found out that i needed to add a function to the validation.php

with google i found some code i thought i could use and with copy past i made this

function phone($param)
{
if(eregi('^[0-9]{10}$', $param )){
return false;
}else{
return true;
}
}

and added it to the validation.php

I could select the function phone in the drop downlist of the form.

But the validation rule i made doesn't validate, anyone any idea what i have done wrong ?

some code that works , but just for one number

function phone($param)
{
if(eregi('[^0-9]', $param )){
return false;
}else{
return true;
}

created this function, and it still doesn't work


function phone($param)
{
if(eregi('[0-9]{10}', $param )){
return false;
}else{
return true;
}
}

Created a ( copy from a php book) test script for regular expressions

www.hylkema.bestrijding-apeldoorn.nl/test.php

where you can put the regular expression and the value

And there works the regular expression [0-9]{10} with test string 0123456789 and not in i use it in the validation.php

What mistake do I make ?
