I’m working on a web project where users need to enter their Zain Cash phone number, including the country code, in an HTML form. I’m facing an issue with validating this input.
Here’s what I need help with:
HTML Form Design: How can I design an HTML form to accept and validate a phone number with a country code? I want to make sure the phone number follows a specific format (e.g., starting with the country code followed by the phone number).
Validation Logic: How can I implement validation logic to ensure that the phone number and country code are in the correct format? If the phone number is valid, it should proceed to the next step; otherwise, it should show an error message.
Backend Handling (Optional): If relevant, I’d also appreciate guidance on how to handle this data in Python for further processing or validation on the server side.
What did you try?
I tried using Twilio for validating phone numbers, but I ran into issues. Specifically, I attempted to use Twilio’s Python library to validate the phone number format and ensure it includes the correct country code. However, I’m having trouble implementing this correctly in my HTML form and validating the input data.
What were you expecting?
I expected to have a functioning HTML form that can accurately validate phone numbers and country codes according to the desired format. If the input is correct, it should allow users to proceed to the next step. If the input is invalid, it should show a relevant error message. Additionally, I wanted the Python backend (using Twilio or another method) to handle this validation effectively and provide clear feedback.
