There's also more detailed data for the UK available as an optional add-on:

• More information can be found on the Ofcomverter page.

Format UK Phone Numbers

A basic PHP routine for formatting UK telephone numbers, by James Cridland.

It's one of those rare bits of code that actually gets it right for all UK formats and number ranges.

• james.cridland.net/code/format_uk_phonenumbers.html - PHP

Ofcom-CSVerter

A PHP library for processing Ofcom's sabc.txt file and automatically correcting long-standing typos and errors in the file.

The resultant CSV file can then be imported into a spreadsheet or database.
