Dear Friends

Thanks in advance.

 

Try this: find the following lines in create_account.php

 

	if (strlen($telephone) < ENTRY_TELEPHONE_MIN_LENGTH) {
  $error = true;

  $messageStack->add('create_account', ENTRY_TELEPHONE_NUMBER_ERROR);
}

 

After them, add:

 

	if (!preg_match('/^[\d\s]+$/',$telephone)){
  $error = true;

  $messageStack->add('create_account', ENTRY_TELEPHONE_NOT_NUMBER);
}

 

Then edit catalog/includes/languages/english.php, and add the line

 

define('ENTRY_TELEPHONE_NOT_NUMBER', 'Your Telephone Number must contain only numbers');

 

Add something equivalent to your other language files if needed.

 

Note that this will allow both numbers and spaces - if you want numbers only, just get rid of the "\s"

Hi!

 

This is just the thing I need. Problem is that I allow my customers to leave the phonefield blank, but this code forces the phonenumber to be filled in. How can I alter this code so that it doesnt give a errormessage if the field is left blank?

 

if (!preg_match('/^[\d\s]+$/',$telephone)){

$error = true;

 

$messageStack->add('create_account', ENTRY_TELEPHONE_NOT_NUMBER);

}

 

Greatful for help / Zuncan
