RE: [flexcoders] ICQ, Skype, Yahoo and other messengers id validation

[Rostislav A. Siryk]

Sergey,   As I understand, the only requirement for ICQ numbers is to be a number. Historically, ICQ numbers started from 1 and theoretically can have up to infinity digits (now the biggest is 10 but the ICQ community still grows).   Here’s discussion on it in parallel universe though: http://www.phpinsider.com/smarty-forum/viewtopic.php?p=21490&sid=fb282d9296c06c0681fa088b28022c6b   Sincerely, Rostislav Siryk http://flash-ripper.com/   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Sergey Kovalyov Sent: Friday, August 04, 2006 4:28 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] ICQ, Skype, Yahoo and other messengers id validation   Thank you, Michael! And what about ICQ? Now they use both digital value and digital with dashes. Sergey.
