Note Submitter: Elier Delgado ---- I'm not happy with any pattern of email address that I have seen. The fallowing address are wrong: email1..@myserver.com email1.-@myserver.com email1._@myserver.com email1@2sub.myserver.com email1@sub.sub.2sub.myserver.com So, this is my pattern: $pat = "/^[a-z]+[a-z0-9]*[\.|\-|_]?[a-z0-9]+ @([a-z]+[a-z0-9]*[\.|\-]?[a-z]+[a-z0-9]*[a-z0-9]+){1,4} \.[a-z]{2,4}$/"; Best Regards, Elier http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1035.html RFC 1035 - Domain names - implementation and specification
