$phone = 00;
   }

This is if $phone is anything else than a single digit. You need to add
either a plus or an asterisk after the closing bracket to denote multiple
instances of the character set:
  if (!ereg(^[0-9]*$,$phone)) {

You could also check if anything _not_ being a number exists within $phone:
  if (ereg([^0-9],$phone)) {
