Dear Interational CiviCRM Community,

Well, the time has come to rewrite the UK Phone Number Validator. I looked at the code with the benefit of 18 months' CiviCRM extension development and shook my head in wonder.

The first major feature change is to make it support international numbers using regexes.

You would be helping me immeasurably if you could provide Regexes for both mobile and landline phone numbers of your nationality. Or, if you tell me the broad rules, I will do it as best I can.

I plan to add functionality to optionally replace country codes with 0s, and replace + with 00, etc before the regex is applied. Spaces, -s, and so on can optionally be removed as well.

Example:
'Australia Landline' => '^0[^4][0-9]{8}$',
'Australia Mobile'    => '^04[0-9]{8}$',
'British Landline'     => '^0[^7][0-9]{9}$',
'British Mobile'        => '^07[0-9]{9}$',

Thank you in advance,

JohnFF

Cool!
