I would wager because there's a ! operator preceding the ereg() call. Also you have very dirty code, your isEmailOk() function doesn't return a value in the case that the if expression fails, it assumes PHP will return something useful (PHP returns null, but relying on that is asking for trouble, and I doubt you knew so in the first place).
