Try this...

function emailValidate ($str) {
$reg = "^([a-zA-Z0-9._-]+)@([a-zA-Z0-9-])+(\.[a-zA-Z0-9-]+)+$";
if (eregi($reg, $str)) {
return true;
}else{
return false;
}
}

$addy = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
if (emailValidate($addy)) {
echo "valid";
}else{
echo "Not Valid!";

RE: [PHP] Checking for and @ and a .

[James Hallam]

Use a regular expression to test the variable submitted by the form.  This
is an excerpt from my usual validation script using ereg()..  I'm sure you
can adapt this for your purposes..

if (!ereg('^[-!#$%&\'*+\\./0-9=?A-Z^_`a-z{|}~]+'.

'@'.

'[-!#$%&\'*+\\/0-9=?A-Z^_`a-z{|}~]+\.'.

'[-!#$%&\'*+\\./0-9=?A-Z^_`a-z{|}~]+$', $email_address)) {

$send = "no";
}

by checking for an @ and a . can someone point me in the right direction for
