I was hoping for a little help on this, as it's confusing me a little... I run a website that allows users to send messages back and forth, but on the inbox i need to hide both emails and phone numbers.
Example: This is how a sample email would look like.
Hi, my phone is +44 5555555 and email is jack@jack.com
I need it to be like this:
Hi, my phone is (phone hidden) and email is (email hidden)
Do you have any ideas ?... I really appreciate it!..
$x = 'Hi, my phone is +44 5555555 and email is jack@jack.com';
$x = preg_replace('/[A-Z0-9._%+-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4}/i','(phone hidden)',$x); // extract email
$x = preg_replace('/(?:(?:\+?1\s*(?:[.-]\s*)?)?(?:\(\s*([2-9]1[02-9]|[2-9][02-8]1|[2-9][02-8][02-9])\s*\)|([2-9]1[02-9]|[2-9][02-8]1|[2-9][02-8][02-9]))\s*(?:[.-]\s*)?)?([2-9]1[02-9]|[2-9][02-9]1|[2-9][02-9]{2})\s*(?:[.-]\s*)?([0-9]{4})(?:\s*(?:#|x\.?|ext\.?|extension)\s*(\d+))?/','(email hidden)',$x); // extract phonenumber
echo $x; // Hi, my phone is (phone hidden) and email is (email hidden)
kudo's for the phonenumber regex to fatcat
