Re: String manipulation

Well, what you really trying to do? Validate the format of an email address? If so, what you really should be doing is looking for an existing library of code which validates email address formats against the RFC standard. phpclasses.org is bound to have some, but I really like this one: http://killersoft.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=2 For your EXACT problem (making sure 'test.com' comes after the @), you could use regular expressions... BUT test.com@test.com IS a valid email address, so you'd be running into problems pretty quick :) I looked into HEAPS of regexp's that claim to validate email address'... HEAPS of them had problems that would bounce VALIDly formatted email address... the killersoft one is the best I found...
