I'm still learning my PHP regex... does the above allow someone to have a literal "+" in their email address, ala <luomat+php@peak.org> which is perfectly valid, but often rejected by "email validators"?

The following classes use this validation regular expression string. It does not exclude some invalid addresses but includes all valid addresses. "^([-!#\$%&'*+./0-9=?A-Z^_a-z{|}~?])+@([-!#\$%&'*+/0-9=?A-Z^_a-z{|}~?]+\\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,4}\$" Forms generation and validation http://www.phpclasses.org/formsgeneration E-mail address validation http://www.phpclasses.org/emailvalidation -- Regards, Manuel Lemos
