According to the PHP manual (I assume this is PHP), things that will evaluate as FALSE in conditions are (in no particular order):

1. The number 0 and 0.0.
2. Empty strings and empty arrays.
3. The string "0".
4. NULL and unset variables.
5. SimpleXML objects created from empty tags.

So, provided that, in your script, $phone carries any of the above values, then your first IF condition would evaluate as TRUE. This is because options 1 ... 5 convert to FALSE, and !FALSE == TRUE.

The same goes for the function in the first ELSEIF statement. That ELSEIF statement will always evaluate to TRUE, provided that function returns any of the values in 1 ... 5.

So, you have to ask yourself what value exactly is your $phone variable actually carrying, and what value is the validate_phone function actually returning.

Very good point indeed...I think you should start debugging from th point you declared your $phone variable....little typos in code can sometimes be quite hard to locate..or you can upload the full code here let's see...good luck coding!
