Ave,
Yes well, I did kind of figure out that I have to scan through contents of a
directory, pull up a file list, and then do some kind of pattern matching to
narrow down to the files I need. But at this moment I'm kinda struggling
with the directory & file functions - haven't really dwelled into those
deeply before.
Good place to start:

Some good examples on getting contents of a directory...

But yes, your suggestions seem more then likely what I'll be hitting at some
stage.
Thanks.

I'm sure there are many options...
I'm also assuming you are pulling from a file system and not a database...
So, loop through the directory and do something like this:
$phone_num = XXX
$cur_file = xxx
if( strncmp($phone_num, $cur_file, strlen($phone_num)) == 0 )
//Matches
else
//No Match
