Re: [PHP] email validation string.

I just got this from: http://php.net/preg_match

<?php
if(eregi ("^[[:alnum:]][a-z0-9_.-]*@[a-z0-9.-]+\.[a-z]{2,6}$", stripslashes(trim($someVar))))
{
echo "good";
}
else
{
echo "bad";
}
?>


Hope it works out for you.

I'm trying to get this line to validate an email address from a form and it
isn't working.

if (ereg("^.+@.+\..+$",$submittedEmail))



The book I'm referencing has this line

if (ereg("^.+@.+\\..+$",$submittedEmail))



Anyway.. I welcome any advice as long as it doesn't morph into a political
debate on ADA standards and poverty in Africa. :-)



Thanks
