1 form_example_elements.inc form_example_phonenumber_discrete_validate($element, &$form_state)

Validation handler for the discrete version of the phone number.

Uses regular expressions to check that:

  • the prefix is numeric 3-digit number.
  • the extension is a numeric 4-digit number.

Any problems are shown on the form element using form_error().
