TOPIC: Need an input mask for phone number. Help?

Need an input mask for phone number. Help? 15 years 10 months ago #6470

Hi everyone,

Has anyone had any success using an input mask so that the user can only enter phone numbers in a certain format?

Can someone help me with this?

Thanks,
Adam

What I've done is to just have them put in numeric characters only, and then pull them from the database ww/a Perl script when I need to generate my reports. In Perl it's easy to format everything, but I haven't found a way to do this in RSFormsPro yet, so I'm just taking the numeric value and then formatting it later when I pull it from the database via Perl.

But then again, the reports that are generated are emailed off and I'm not staying internal to Joomla.

Hello ,

You can try using this telephone validation:
function phone($phone)
{
if( $phone=='' ) return true;
if(eregi('^(\(?[2-9]{1}[0-9]{2}\)?|[0-9]{3,3}[-. ]?)[ ]?[0-9]{3,3}[-. ]?[0-9]{4,4}$', $phone ))
return true;
else
return false;
}

I added the phone validation as outlined and now I get this message whenever I try to use the phone validation:

Warning: eregi() [function.eregi]: REG_BADRPT in /home/surreyau/public_html/components/com_rsform/controller/validation.php on line 74


Any ideas? I copied the validation script right from the forum...

Hello,

Try this code for a custom phone number validation:
function phone($phone)
{
list($number1,$number2,$number3)=split("-",$phone,3);
if($phone=='' || strlen($phone)!=10 || !(is_numeric($number1)) || !(is_numeric($number2)) || !(is_numeric($number3)) || strlen($number3)!=2) return false;
if(ereg('^([0-9]{4})-([0-9]{4})-([0-9]{3})$', $phone))
return false;
else
return true;
}

Note that you will have customize it to validate what phone numbers formats you want. It currently validates numbers like: 123-456-78

Regards!
