I am trying to allow ‘-‘ in the regular expression for telephone numbers, but the – is usually used for ranges (e.g. A-Z). So how do I allow just the character? I tried escapting using /-, but that’s not working.

$reg_num = "/[^0-9+ ()]/";

    You need to escape it with a backslash \. So it should be written as \-.
