A description of how to modify the allowable characters in the phone field. By default, in Horde v.3.2+, only a leading '+', digits, '-', and space are allowable.

Any field of type "phone" is check for valid characters in the file lib/Horde/Form.php where the phone type is defined. This is found near line 1236 in the file. To make changes, locate the default validation line:

$valid = preg_match('/^\+?[\d()\-\/ ]*$/', $value);

Change the validation character string as desired. For example, to add '*', '#' and '.' as valid characters, modify as follows:

$valid = preg_match('/^\+?[\d()\*\.\#\-\/ ]*$/', $value);
