Hi,
I am creating a SMS app the following code is supposed to:
- check if the mobile/cell number is 11 characters long.
- check if the number starts with 07.
If neither of these conditions are met, it should remove the number from the array.
So the following numbers would be valid:
07123456789,07123456790,07123456791,07123456792,07123456793,07123456794
However the following wouldn't (and need to be removed):
0801458,07855488,6695522214124514
$param["number"] = "07123456789,07123456790,07123456791,07123456792,07123456793,07123456794,0801458,07855488,6695522214124514";
$number = explode(',', $param["number"]);
foreach($number as $num){
if (!substr_compare($num, "07", 0, 3, false)) {
unset($num);
}
elseif (substr_compare($num, "07", 0, 3, true)) {
if(strlen($num) == 11) {
$li .= "447" . substr($num, 2) . ',';
}
}
}
$il .= substr($li, 0, strlen($li)-1);
echo $il;
// $request = substr($request, 0, strlen($request)-1);
// return $n;
}
I also need to remove the final comma from the result.
Any help will be appriciated.
Thanks,
Kyle
