Telex
=====

[](#telex)

*Telex* finds telephone numbers in text.

*Telex* is used by [SeeTheWorld](https://www.seetheworld.com/).

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

For now:

```
use DanBettles\Telex\Telex;
use DanBettles\Telex\NumberFinder;
use DanBettles\Telex\CountryTelephoneNumberMatcherFactory;

$telex = new Telex(new NumberFinder(), new CountryTelephoneNumberMatcherFactory());
$matches = $telex->findAll('A UK landline number: (01234) 567 890.  A UK mobile number: +44 (0)7123 456 789.');
```

TODO
----

[](#todo)

- Encode patterns for area codes, and well-structured local numbers, whenever practicable, to increase the precision of the matcher.
- Write more tests, especially for `Telex`.
- Handle multiple adjacent numbers.
- Add logging to the find methods in Telex to make it easier to identify the causes of mismatches.

Background
----------

[](#background)

Having written something horribly inflexible to deal with European telephone numbers, I wanted to see if I could write something relatively simple - and a little more elegant - that would detect *any* telephone number with a degree of precision. *Telex* is certainly more elegant, and probably more useful, than my previous solution, but it's still far from being perfect - it's still too naive, I think. It's an interesting challenge and we'd appreciate your input - thank you.
