A comprehensive regex for phone number validation

Just a simple regex required to validate telephone numbers.

Must contain only digits, and the other allowable characters are spaces and dashes.

There are many regular expression libraries on the web, did you try to google? Otherwise you could easily try to construct a regexp yourself. http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3966 — poke, Oct 04 '10 at 17:02

You can try:

if(preg_match('/^[\d -]+$/',$telNumber)) {
  // valid tel number.
}
