Description: ------------ I've noticed an error in the checking of the UK telephone numbers. In the error check, it does indeed go through and check that numbers should be 11 characters long, however outside of London, 10 character numbers are still allowed. One example being 01905 22222 - which is actually an estate agents! Test script: --------------- n/a Expected result: ---------------- 10 character numbers, that don't start 02 should be accepted. Actual result: -------------- They fail.

Ofcom dictates the UK numbering scheme, and provides downloadable files detailing precisely which area codes contain 10-digit numbers. http://www.ofcom.org.uk/telecoms/ioi/numbers/numbers_administered/ A 'good enough' fix should be to accept 10-digits for numbers beginning '01' and '08'. All other numbers should be 11-digits. Note: at the present-time (Feb 2007) UK numbers cannot begin '04' or '06' A patch to fix this bug is available here: http://hexmen.com/code/patches/pear-9242.diff

This bug has been fixed in CVS. If this was a documentation problem, the fix will appear on pear.php.net by the end of next Sunday (CET). If this was a problem with the pear.php.net website, the change should be live shortly. Otherwise, the fix will appear in the package's next release. Thank you for the report and for helping us make PEAR better.
