Doesn't work at all, phone numbers, even the test number remains phone numbers in the original format. No idea what or if I'm doing anything wrong except following directions and uploading the files to their proper places, etc.

I added the include line as you said and my phone_numbers.php looks like:

Code:

<?php
/***
Find phone numbers in documents using word boundary tokens (\b) in an attempt to avoid non phone number type matches
Written by Gaylen Fraley (aka Raven)

***/
$testPhoneNumber = '(01)1234567890';
$replacement = '#';
$text = 'This is testing for matching/replacing a phone number type entry of ' . $testPhoneNumber . '. <br />Did it work?';

$phonePattern = '$?\b([0-9]{3})$?[-. ]?([0-9]{3})[-. ]?([0-9]{4})\b';
$phoneIntlPattern = '$?\b([0-9]{2})$?[-. ]?([0-9]{3})\)?[-. ]?([0-9]{3})[-. ]?([0-9]{4})\b'; // For including International codes
$message = preg_replace("/$phoneIntlPattern/", $replacement, $message);
?>

Dunno what else to do.

Cheers
