Validating phone number

InternEd 09 Aug, 2011
Hi,

Is there a way to validate a field for a phone number? I can't think of a way, because it can contain so many different things, like numbers and +-() and can be different lengths.

I found two validation checkboxes, phone and international phone, but both don't seem to do anything?

Hi Ed,

Digging in the code both the phone and phone-inter validations appear to use this regex
/^\+{0,1}[0-9 \(\)\.\-]+$/ which is a fairly limited validation. This checks for an optional + followed by a series of: 0-9 space ( ) . -

You could use a custom validation with a more complex regex if you can specify it.
