Re: preg_match array question

perhaps I am misunderstanding... I have snipit of my foreach. I have a preg_match that checks for a valid email address. basically it just checks for an @ and a . When I place this in my loop all of the keys are evaluated, so hence the name key is evaluated and thrown error because of the check. To remedy this problem I took it out of the loop and it worked fine. Ultimately I would love to keep it in the loop and throw checks for certain fields, but syntaxtually it doesnt work for me. Any Suggestions ? foreach ($_POST as $key=>$value) { # Begin Foreach loop if (empty($value)) { # Begin If echo "$key :: Missing Data<br/>"; if (!preg_match('/([a-z0-9\-\.\#\:]+@[a-z0-9\-]+\.[a-z0-9\-]+)/i', $_POST["eaddy"])) {echo $_POST["eaddy"]," is not a valid address.<br/>"; } } # End if else { echo "$key, ->Ok<br/>";} } # End Foreach ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ralph" <ralph@nqionline.com> To: "'Daniel J.
