Hi, I am trying to create a regular expression for a mobile phone number. The number must be 12 digits long(0-9) and begin with 447 and have no spaces. So far I have come up with this but it keeps telling me the number is invalid even when its correct! $regexp = /447[0-9]{9}/;

you should also be considering spaces, leading zeros, brackets, dashes international notation. /^(((\+|00)[- ]?[0-9]{2,3}[- ]?(\(0\))?[- ]?[1-9]{1}[0-9]{1,})|(0[1-9]{1}[0-9]{1,}))[- ]?(([0-9]{7,})|([0-9]{3}[ -]{1}[0-9]{4}))$/ line-wrapping is unintentional, no garantees as to how good it is.
