Hello friends,
I use the following code, but it does not work. Is there something wrong?
If
(ereg('^[-!#$%&\'*+\\./0-9=?A-Z^_`a-z{|}~]+'.'@'.'[-!#$%&\'*+\\/0-9=?A-Z^_`a
-z{|}~]+\.'.'[-!#$%&\'*+\\./0-9=?A-Z^_`a-z{|}~]+$',
$email_address))
){
Print ("Sorry, the email address seems to be invalid.");
exit;
}
Please help.
Denis
