Hello Daniel
Here is one approach I use to validate an email address.
if ($email_new !~ /[\w\-]+\@[\w\-]+\.[\w\-]+/)
{
# Not a valid email address - Do this
}else
# Valid email address - Do this
}

Hello all,
I am just playing around with forms at the moment. What I want to do is
have user enter data into form fiels then I want to validate that
entered date. So far I can do things as basic as validating if fields
contain characters and so forth. But what I want to do is something
like the following...
if ($realname eq "" || $email eq "" $email #does not contain an @
symbel) {
# Then return an error!
} else {
# continue
}
but in some instances the user will place enter their realname but not
their email. I would like the user to know where they went wrong in the
form. Could some one explain to me what my best way of tackaling this
would be?
Regards,
Dan
