RE: [PHP] last questions
Here's a function you could use. The input from your form should be
email ($email in this script).
function valid_email($email)
{
// check an email address is possibly valid
if (ereg([EMAIL PROTECTED],
$email))
return true;
else
return false;
}

Steve, et al -- ...and then Steve Jackson said... % ... % // check an email address is possibly valid % if (ereg([EMAIL PROTECTED], % $email)) ... You could just downcase the address and save some chars; email is case-insensitive. You've left out the '+' character used for name+extensions under sendmail (and perhaps postfix). You allow an ending . on a hostnmae, which you shouldn't. It looks like you could switch your two [] expressions on the right side and lose the \. in the middle and be OK. % % HTH HTH HAND :-D -- David T-G * There is too much animal courage in (play) [EMAIL PROTECTED] * society and not sufficient moral courage.

Haseeb -- ...and then Haseeb Iqbal said... % % thanx to all those who replied to my previous question. Happy to help! % 1 more question.i need help with reqular expressions.i want to check valid % (email) % usernanes for my mail server .i.e. Qmail. any help welcome. It's come up before, so the first place to look is the archives. It's pretty easy to check for a legally formatted mail address; it's a bit trickier to check for a valid right hand side; it's impossible to check for a valid left hand side unless it's your own machine. Basically, and from the top of my head, an email address is a letter or number any number of letters, numbers, underscores, dashes, plusses, periods an @ either a letter any number of letters and numbers, perhaps separated by periods a period a TLD (currently 2, 3, or 4 letters) or an IP address and so it gets a little hairy to write but it can be done. You might also do a quick google search for something like email address regular expression check to see if someone has worked out a good and complete one. % thanx in advance % Haseeb HTH HAND :-D -- David T-G * There is too much animal courage in (play) [EMAIL PROTECTED] * society and not sufficient moral courage.
