This library provides a validator for Brazilian telephone numbers based on the ranges of telephone numbers from Anatel. It provides validation rules for the main telephone types:

• Cellphones - SMP, Serviço Móvel Pessoal (Personal Mobile Service) in the Anatel specifications
• Landline phones - STFC, Serviço Telefônico Fixo Comutado (Switched Landline Telephone Service) in the Anatel specifications
• Push-to-talk phones - SME, Serviço Móvel Especializado (Specialized Mobile Service) in Anatel specifications

According to Wikipedia:

"The National Telecommunications Agency (in Portuguese, Agência Nacional de Telecomunicações - Anatel) is a special agency in Brazil created by the general telecommunications act (Law 9472, 16/07/1997) in 1997. The agency is administratively and financially independent, and not hierarchically subordinate to any government agency."

PHP 5.3 or above.

The easiest way to install BrazilianPhoneValidator is through Composer. Just create a composer.json file for your project:

{
    "require": {
        "empregoligado/brazilian-phone-validator": "dev-master"
    }
}

And then run these commands:

$ curl -s http://getcomposer.org/installer | php
$ php composer.phar install

Now include the Composer-generated autoload to have access to the library:

<?php

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

$validator = new EmpregoLigado\BrazilianPhoneValidator\Validator();

The EmpregoLigado\BrazilianPhoneValidator\Validator class provides the following high-level public API to validate a Brazilian phone number:

• isValid($phone) (any type of phone number)
• isValidCellphone($phone)
• isValidLandline($phone)

And the following lower-level public API to validate a specific Brazilian phone number type:

• isValidSME($phone)
• isValidSMP($phone)
• isValidSTFC($phone)

Where $phone is a "numeric" string with the area code and phone number (examples: 1149502480 and 6134111200.)

Usage example:

<?php

$validator = new EmpregoLigado\BrazilianPhoneValidator\Validator();

$phone = '6134111200';

// Checks if it is a valid Brazilian phone number.
if ($validator->isValid($phone)) {
    // success statement
} else {
    // error statement
}

The dataset files available in the data/ directory are created and updated by the bin/dataset-processor.php script. It generates a JSON and a PHP file for each processed dataset file.

To process the dataset files correctly, you must download the latest "Geral" (general) file, process it and then process all (if any) the additional incremental files which the date is greater than the "Geral" file date.

$ php bin/dataset-processor.php /path/to/FAIXA_SMP_20130803_0330_GERAL.txt data/

This library ships with the latest possible dataset version. You can download them independently to use for validation or for other purposes.
