note 4760 deleted from ereg by jmoore

Checking emails: <pre> function verifyemail ($email) { if (eregi("^[_.0-9a-z-]+@([0-9a-z][-0-9a-z.]+).([a-z]{2,3}$)", $email, $check)) { if (getmxrr($check[1].".".$check[2],$temp)) { return true; } return false; } else { return false; } } </pre> verifyemail("user@triple-bypass.com"); // TRUE verifyemail("user@salter.com"); // TRUE verifyemail("user@ns.sympatico.ca"); // TRUE verifyemail("user@ns.symfdsfdspatico.ca"); // FALSE This seems to work best for me. It's hacked together from some buggy script (or script I couldn't get to work anyway) from the notes on the "mail" page. I'm not much of a person for regular expressions but this seems to work 100% on all the domains I tested it on. I'd appreciate an email (with explanation) if there's somethign wrong with the regex used here (or a way it could be better).
