I've been using PHPMailer like this for years:

if (!$mail->Send()) { }

You shouldn't need an extra else { }, Jay's reasoning nonetheless. That
being said, I don't know why it isn't working for you.

As of PHP 4.3.5, I believe the only way to change allow_url_fopen is via
php.ini or httpd.conf. AFAICT, --disable-url-fopen-wrapper disappeared in
PHP 4.0.4.

Hi Leonard,

Take a look at this Perl module - it may be of use to you:

Re: [PHP] PHP Phone Number Validation

I try to not restrict the way your users enter phone numbers or other types
of structured data. I wouldn't bother validating against ddd-ddd- unless
you also plan on validating (ddd) ddd-, ddd.ddd., +1 ddd ddd ddd or
any number of variations. Your best bet is to make sure that the number
contains 10 (or 11) digits:

$phone = preg_replace('/[^0-9]/', '', $phone); # remove non-numbers

if (preg_match('/^1?[0-9]{10}$/', $phone)) {
echo 'Valid';
}

To answer your original question:

if (preg_match('/^[0-9]{3}-[0-9]{3}-[0-9]{4}$/', $phone)) {
echo 'Valid';
}

According to this post, you do not need to use flock() if you open a file in
append mode:
