I want to convert a telephone number into specific format if it is not in that format

I have a telephone number and its type is varchar(32). It could be 03004748495,3004748495, 0300-4748495, 300-4748495,+92-300-4748495 or 923004748495. I want it to be converted in this format 923004748495 as an integer if it is not in this format. How will I achieve that? Any ideas?

Use preg_replace to remove unwanted signs (http://php.net/manual/en/function.preg-replace.php).

<?php

$number = '+92-300-4748495';

$number = preg_replace('/[^0-9]/', '', $number);

echo $number;

If you want to remove the leading zero too, you could use rtrim (http://php.net/manual/en/function.ltrim.php)

<?php

$number = '0300-4748495';

$number = preg_replace('/[^0-9]/', '', $number);

$number = ltrim($number, '0');

echo $number;

Additional request "If 92 is not added at the start, Add 92 also."

<?php
$number = '123456';

if (substr($number, 0, 2) != '92') {
    $number = '92' . $number;
}

echo $number;

I suggest using liphonenumber-for-php

Example code from the github page:

$swissNumberStr = "044 668 18 00";

// First call the class
$phoneUtil = \libphonenumber\PhoneNumberUtil::getInstance();
try {

    // turn it into a object using a given geo code
    $swissNumberProto = $phoneUtil->parse($swissNumberStr, "CH"); 

    // validate the phonenumber
    $isValid = $phoneUtil->isValidNumber($swissNumberProto);

    if($isValid){

        // Produces "+41446681800"
        echo $result_number = $phoneUtil->format($swissNumberProto, \libphonenumber\PhoneNumberFormat::E164);
         // Produces "044 668 18 00"
        echo $result_number = $phoneUtil->format($swissNumberProto, \libphonenumber\PhoneNumberFormat::NATIONAL);
        // Produces "+41 44 668 18 00"
        echo $result_number = $phoneUtil->format($swissNumberProto, \libphonenumber\PhoneNumberFormat::INTERNATIONAL);
    }

} catch (\libphonenumber\NumberParseException $e) {
    var_dump($e);
}
