Preg_match for exact phone number match

expected_Phone_number: (888) 888-8888
actual_phone_number: (888) 888-8888

How do I use Preg_match to check if the 2 numbers match.(I need to check if the 2 phone numbers match exactly)

If php supports \Q .. \E, something like 

'~^\Q' . $phone_number_expected . '\E$~';

otherwise regex escape the phone number 

'~^' . preg_quote($phone_number_expected, '~') . '$~';

or just do a string compare
