Simple Regex Help

[Ender330]

Hello,

I need to find a way to use regex to exclude a phone number like this:

[phone]

I want any number that starts with the country code 55 to be excluded.

For some reason \+55 does not work.

Thanks for the help...

You could try: preg_match('/^\+?55[0-9]+$/', $string);

\+? means: a + 0 or 1 times,

55: both need to be present

[0-9]+, any number, 1 or more times.

[phone] -- I want any number that starts with the country code 55 to be excluded.

preg_match('/\+(?!55)\d+/', $string);
