"/[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]/" seems to do what you're looking for. In
other words, match the
"@" symbol where it is not preceded or followed by another "@" symbol.
To test, try:
preg_match_all('/[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]/','Some @ text with the @t
sym@@bol @@@',
$thing, PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE);
print_r($thing);
There may be a more intuitive way to do this, but at least it seems to work.
