Mysql regexp to allow numbers and '+'

First, use  NOT REGEXP  instead of  !=1 . To allow  +  at the start optionally, use  ^\\+? . Since  +  is a special character in regular expressions, it must be escaped with a backslash (which must be escaped with another backslash). You then need one or more digits ( [0-9]+ ), up to the end of the string  $ . $query="UPDATE table SET phone='NULL' WHERE phone NOT REGEXP '^\+?[0-9]+$'"; This will match anything that doesn't begin optionally with  + , followed by digits only. If you also need to permit hyphens and dots in the phone number, add them into the  []  character class: '^\\+?[0-9.-]+$'
