Sync phonebook using php - php

Question

I am working on web-service to sync contacts using yii2 framework. where i am having whole phone-book (in json array) from mobile end and i have to check which phone numbers are there in my database.
Request params would be something like this
{
"user_id": "4",
"user_details": [{
"first_name": "A",
"last_name": "A"
}, {
"first_name": "B",
"last_name": "B"
,
"mobile_number": ["(888) 888-888", "(777) 777-777"]
}, {
"first_name": "C",
"last_name": "C",
"mobile_number": ["[phone]", "[phone]", "[phone]", "[phone]"]
}]
}
To achieve the functionality i have done following code.
public function actionSyncPhoneBook()
{
$amResponse = $amResponseData = [];
$snUserId = $this->amData['user_id'];// Here i will get user_id
if (!empty($this->omUser))
{
$userDetails = $this->amData['user_details'];//Here i will get array of user_details
$amAppContacts =[];
$amNonAppContacts = [];
//I have loop here of user details to scan mobile number array
foreach ($userDetails as $userKeys)
{
//In case if mobile number array is not given
if(!empty($userKeys["mobile_number"]))
{
// Loop for scanning mobile numbers
foreach ($userKeys["mobile_number"] as $key => $mobileNumber)
{
//regex for matching mobile number.
$phone = preg_replace('/[^a-zA-Z0-9+]/', '', $mobileNumber);
$oModelUser = Users::find()
->where(['phone' => $phone])
->one();
//Check if conttact is exists or not using exist method
$checkContactExists = Users::find()->where(['phone' => $phone])->exists();
if($checkContactExists == 1)
{
$oModelFriends = Friends::find()->where(["from_user_id"=>$snUserId,"to_user_id"=>$oModelUser->id])->asArray()->one();
$amCheckPhoneNumber['user_id'] = !empty((string)$oModelUser->id) ? (string)$oModelUser->id : '';
$amCheckPhoneNumber['first_name'] = !empty($oModelUser->first_name) ? $oModelUser->first_name : '';
$amCheckPhoneNumber['last_name'] = !empty($oModelUser->last_name) ? $oModelUser->last_name : '';
$amCheckPhoneNumber['email'] = !empty($oModelUser->email) ? $oModelUser->email : '';
$amCheckPhoneNumber['phone'] = !empty($oModelUser->phone) ? $oModelUser->phone : '';
$amCheckPhoneNumber['status'] = !empty((string)$oModelUser->status) ? (string)$oModelUser->status : '';
$amCheckPhoneNumber['relationship_status'] = !empty($oModelUser->relationship_status) ? $oModelUser->relationship_status : '';
$amCheckPhoneNumber['mobile_verified'] = !empty((string)$oModelUser->mobile_verified) ? (string)$oModelUser->mobile_verified : '';
$amCheckPhoneNumber['email_verified'] = !empty($oModelUser->email_verified) ? $oModelUser->email_verified : '';
$amCheckPhoneNumber['latitude'] = !empty($oModelUser->latitude) ? $oModelUser->latitude : "0";
$amCheckPhoneNumber['longitude'] = !empty($oModelUser->longitude) ? $oModelUser->longitude : "0";
if($oModelFriends["is_friend"] == 1)
{
$amCheckPhoneNumber['is_friend'] = "friends";
}
else
{
$amCheckPhoneNumber['is_friend'] = "no_friends";
}
//User Image
if(!empty($oModelUser->user_image))
{
if (filter_var($oModelUser->user_image, FILTER_VALIDATE_URL))
{
if(!empty($oModelUser->user_image))
{
$ssEventDetailsUserImage = $oModelUser->user_image;
}
else
{
$ssEventDetailsUserImage = Yii::$app->params['aws_cover_image_path'];
}
}
else
{
$ssEventDetailsUserImage =Yii::$app->params['aws_cover_image_path'];
}
}
else
{
$ssEventDetailsUserImage = Yii::$app->params['aws_cover_image_path'];
}
//Cover Image
if(!empty($oModelUser->cover_image))
{
if (filter_var($oModelUser->cover_image, FILTER_VALIDATE_URL))
{
if(!empty($oModelUser->cover_image))
{
$ssCoverImage = $oModelUser->cover_image;
}
else
{
$ssCoverImage = Yii::$app->params['aws_cover_image_path'];
}
}
else
{
$ssCoverImage =Yii::$app->params['aws_cover_image_path'];
}
}
else
{
$ssCoverImage = Yii::$app->params['aws_cover_image_path'];
}
$amCheckPhoneNumber['cover_image'] = !empty($ssCoverImage) ? $ssCoverImage : '';
$amCheckPhoneNumber['user_image'] = !empty($ssEventDetailsUserImage) ? $ssEventDetailsUserImage : '';
$amCheckPhoneNumber['app_user'] = "1";
//Final Response of users those who are using application
$amAppContacts[] = $amCheckPhoneNumber;
}
else
{
//Users who does not use application.
$otherUsers['user_id'] = !empty($userKeys['id']) ? $userKeys['id'] : '';
$otherUsers['first_name'] = !empty($userKeys['first_name']) ? $userKeys['first_name'] : '';
$otherUsers['last_name'] = !empty($userKeys['last_name']) ? $userKeys['last_name'] : '';
$otherUsers['email'] = !empty($userKeys['email']) ? $userKeys['email'] : '';
$otherUsers['phone'] = !empty($mobileNumber) ? $mobileNumber : '';
$otherUsers['status'] = !empty($userKeys['status']) ? $userKeys['status'] : '';
$otherUsers['relationship_status'] = !empty($userKeys['relationship_status']) ? $userKeys['relationship_status'] : '';
$otherUsers['user_image'] = Yii::$app->params['aws_cover_image_path'];
$otherUsers['cover_image'] = Yii::$app->params['aws_cover_image_path'];
$otherUsers['mobile_verified'] = !empty($userKeys['mobile_verified']) ? $userKeys['mobile_verified'] : '';
$otherUsers['email_verified'] = !empty($userKeys['email_verified']) ? $userKeys['email_verified'] : '';
$otherUsers['latitude'] = !empty($userKeys["latitude"]) ? $userKeys["latitude"] : "0";
$otherUsers['longitude'] = !empty($userKeys["longitude"]) ? $userKeys["longitude"] : "0";
$otherUsers['is_friend'] = "";
$otherUsers['app_user'] = "0";
//Final Response of users those who are not using app.
$amNonAppContacts[] = $otherUsers;
}
}
}
}
//Merging the app users and non-app users together.
$amResponseData = array_merge($amAppContacts,$amNonAppContacts);
$amResponse = Common:: successResponse("Sync your phonebook.",$amResponseData);
Common::encodeResponseJSON($amResponse);
}
}
From above code i am checking if mobile number is exist in the database than it will push into app users and rests will be in non-app users.
In my database mobile numbers are stored in the format of +(countryCode)(mobileNumber)
Example [phone]
But it should also work if i don't pass +91 or any country codes.
It should work if mobile number array would be like
"mobile_number": ["(888) 888-888", "(777) 777-777"]
or it should be like
"mobile_number": ["[phone]","[phone]","8000584123", "[phone]", "[phone]", "[phone]"]
How to achieve this functionality?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

dont need regex like this
$phone = preg_replace('/[^a-zA-Z0-9+]/', '', $mobileNumber);
Instead you can use
$phone = preg_replace('/[^0-9]/', '', $mobileNumber);
and change your where condition like this below. You should use LIKE condition
$oModelUser = Users::find()->where("phone LIKE'%".$phone."'")->one();
$checkContactExists = Users::find()->where("phone LIKE '%".$phone."'")->exists();

Answer 2

You tagged it with mysql, so I am answering from that angle.
The various phone number should be in a separate table, together with an id of the person they belong to. That way, there can be an arbitrary number of numbers for any person. I suggest 1:many, not many:many, and simply let the occasional shared phone be a dup number in the new table.
The table would have a non-unique index on number, thereby making it 'trivial' in SQL to locate the person(s) with a given number (or set of numbers, using IN).
