Title: Missing validating a heap of numbers

Comment:
This expression doesn't handle all sorts of valid Australian phone numbers. To do that you need more than one regular expression. Something like...
//
// Function to check an Australian phone number is valid.
//
function is_valid_phone ($strPhone) {
$isValid = false;
// Strip blanks, brackets, periods, dashes and plus
$strPhone = str_replace(array('(', ')', '-', '+', '.', ' '), '', $strPhone);
// Check 10 or 11 digits
switch (strlen($strPhone)) {
case "6":
if (ereg('^(13[0-9]{4})$', $strPhone)) {
$isValid = true;
}
break;
case "7":
if (ereg('^(180[0-9]{4})$', $strPhone)) {
$isValid = true;
}
break;
case "10":
if (ereg('^(((01|02|03|04|07|08|12|19)[0-9]{8})|(1300[0-9]{6})|(180[0-9]{7}))$', $strPhone)) {
$isValid = true;
}
break;
case "11":
if (ereg('^(61(1|2|3|4|7|8)[0-9]{8})$', $strPhone)) {
$isValid = true;
}
break;
default:
$isValid = false;
}
return $isValid;
}
