Re: reg expression for ide-emails

Oh yeah, 'Look @ the screen. You will find wonderfull colors there!' doesn't look like an e-mail adress, does it ? A basic approch to really check the syntax would be: preg_match("#^\s*[-\w_]+(\.[-\w_]+)*@[-\w_]+(\.[-\w_]+)+\s*$#sim", $email) Add your special german or french characters to the first char-bin behind the @ sign if your servers locale setup won't allow \w to match these. -- red Am Montag, 29.
