A PHP port of Google's libphonenumber library for parsing, formatting, storing, and validating international phone numbers. It also provides geocoding, carrier mapping, timezone lookup, and short number information.

Use cases

• validate international phone numbers in a PHP form
• format phone numbers in E.164 for storage
• parse user-entered phone numbers into country and national number
• look up the carrier for a phone number
• determine the timezone of a phone number
• geocode a phone number to a region or city
• check if a number is a valid short code or emergency number

When to choose

• you need robust, standards-based phone number handling in PHP
• you want a maintained port of Google's libphonenumber with regular metadata updates
• you need carrier, timezone, or geocoding metadata for phone numbers
• you want framework integrations and a lite package for smaller bundle size

When to avoid

• you are not working in PHP
• you only need simple formatting without validation and can use a regex
• you need real-time line type or carrier verification from live network data
