Hello,
I need to find a way to use regex to exclude a phone number like this:
+558499608822
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...

Jump to PostYou 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.

+558499608822 -- I want any number that starts with the country code 55 to be excluded.
preg_match('/\+(?!55)\d+/', $string);
