Hi,
 
we are using the URL API to do a blind register of users who who complete a form on our website. We used to pass first name, last name, email, and meeting id. Recently the hosts have requested that we send the phone and company name. Company name is no problem, but I am having a big problem with the phone number.
 
According to the documentation: PH: Optional. Attendee¿s country code, area code, phone number, and extension separated by commas. For example, ¿1,408,8675309,536¿. The default value is blank.
 
the phone number sent in any other format (or if blank) returns an Invalid Data Format error (ex. ?AT=RM&ST=FAIL&RS=InvalidDataFormat)
 
Does anyone know of a regular expression or some other piece of code that will convert the phone into the desired format? I've gotten close, but it still fails on certain conditions.
 
here is an example fo the URL we send to register for an meeting:
 
https://autotask.webex.com/autotask/m.php?AT=RM&MK=325016309&FN=Nick&LN=Youmans&EM=nyoumans@autotask.com&CY=Autotask&SA=NY&CI=United States&PH=555-555-55552&BU=http://varstreet.autotask.com/contact/thank_you.htm
 
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
thanks,
Nick

Hi Kingsley,
 
Thanks for the reply.
 
unfortunately, there is no consistent formatting of the phone number. looking at the people who used a webex registration form for a previous meeting, the formatting could be almost anything...including international.
 
using a test phone of 1-(518) 555-1234 I was able to find a regular expression was to convert the phone to 1,518,555,1234. But if the user enters 15185551234, i recieve the same "Invalid Data Format" error.
 
Any ideas?
 
Thanks,
Nick
