I did change the comment to what you suggested:
if (eregi("^@([0-9a-z][0-9a-z-.]+)\.([a-z]{2,3}))", $website)){ // not a
link
but this seams not to work as well. It is still possible to post a website
like this: http://website
So somehow the last part does not work checking for dot and 2 or 3 char.
does somebody have an idea on that?
Thanx, Andy
