i want to see all phone numbers in my string. right now it has only one number in the array 'match' how can i get all the numbers in my array?

$str = "djvdsfhis 0647382938 rdfrgfdg tel:0647382938 rfgdfgfd 06 47 38 29 
38 fdgdfrggfd tel:06-47382938 cxgvfdgsfdc";
$arr = '~\d{2}-\d{8}|\d{10}~';
$success = preg_match($arr, $str, $match);
if ($success) {
    echo "Match: ".$match[0]."<br />"; 
    print_r($match);
}

i get this as output:

djvdsfhis ffgfg 0647382938 rdfrgfdg tel:0647382938 rfgdfgfd 06 47 38 29 38 fdgdfrggfd tel:06-47382938 cxgvfdgsfdc

Match: 0647382938
Array ( [0] => 0647382938 )

but i want to have my array like this:

Array ( [0] => 0647382938 [1] => 0647382938 [2] => 06-47382938

  • So what is the difference between `0647382938` and say `20190128`. Both are numbers and in the string. What makes it a phone number? – Andreas Jan 28 '19 at 13:25
  • Possible duplicate of [PHP Regex to extract phone numbers](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34885393/php-regex-to-extract-phone-numbers) – executable Jan 28 '19 at 13:29
  • @executable his problem isn't with the regex, it's with the array that is output that doesn't give him all of his results but the first. Thus it's not a duplicate. – Alexandre Elshobokshy Jan 28 '19 at 13:30

You should use preg_match_all. Which will output an array of all of the results of your regex, in this instance an array of the numbers.

$str = "djvdsfhis 0647382938 rdfrgfdg tel:0647382938 rfgdfgfd 06 47 38 29 
38 fdgdfrggfd tel:06-47382938 cxgvfdgsfdc";
$arr = '~\d{2}-\d{8}|\d{10}~';
$success = preg_match_all($arr, $str, $match);
if ($success) {
    print_r($match);
}

You can also use T-Regx tool which has automatic delimiters:

pattern('\d{2}-?\d{8}')->match($str)->all();
