Prepending plus sign and country code to phone number from form

I'm currently using a form to get a phone number from the user, and they are directed to add area code but no spaces or dashes. It's validated here:

$this->validate($request, [
    'phone_number' => 'digits:10'
]);

This works fine but I then need to send the phone number from the request

$sendNumber = $newCallFunction->phoneSubmission($request->phone_number);

as a string with '+' and the country code prepended to it. So in America the phone number they enter as 5555555555 should be sent in the function call as +15555555555

How should I set this properly using laravel?

I would make an associative array of the country code to the code code and then prepend that.

$countryCode = ['NL' =>'+075','US' =>'+1' ];
$sendNumber = $newCallFunction->phoneSubmission($countryCode['us' . $request->phone_number);

Depends on how you get the country tho
