Re: checking if e-mail address and syntax are valid

I wrote a similar script of my own... Works fine for me function email_valid($email) { $pattern="^[0-9a-zA-Z_-]+(\.[0-9a-zA-Z_-]+)*@[0-9a-zA-Z_-]+(\.[0-9a-zA-Z_-]+ )+$"; return ereg($pattern, $email); } (returns false if email is not valid, true if it is) N "Martin Skjöldebrand" <chimbis@skjoldebrand.org> wrote in message news:9c4npf$ojq$1@toye.p.sourceforge.net... > Carlos Fernando Scheidecker Antunes wrote: > > > Hello all! > > > > I would like to know if anyone has or know any PHP code to verify if a > > form entered e-mail address is valid? > > > > I would like that things like 4$%^%$@@.com.br could not be sent.
