I use the regexp from Chris's Essential PHP Security book:
http://phpsecurity.org/
$email_pattern = '/[EMAIL PROTECTED]<&>]+@([ -a-z0-9]+\.)+[a-z]{2,}$/i';
if (preg_match($email_pattern, $yourEmailVar)) {
echo 'It's good';
}
else {
echo 'There's a problem';
}
Note, the echo's are thrown in for clarity, those aren't part of
Chris's example code. =)
Just ran it on your tom-cat example. Passes through ok.

I am currently using this regexp noted below to validate client-

at least their email is well-formed:
var emailRegxp = /^([\w]+)(.[\w]+)*@([\w]+)(.[\w]{2,3}){1,2}$/;
if( emailRegxp.test(strng) != true ){
return false;
}else{
return true;
}
But, this regexp is not accepting emails of the form [EMAIL PROTECTED]
It is rejecting the hyphen in the domain name.
Does anyone have a real-life tested simple regexp that would plug
into the
snippet above and be more complete?
