note 86525 added to function.preg-match

If you need to check for .com.br and .com.au and .uk and all the other crazy domain endings i found the following expression works well if you want to validate an email address. Its quite generous in what it will allow <? $email_address = "phil.taylor@a_domain.tv"; if (preg_match("/^[^@]*@[^@]*\.[^@]*$/", $email_address)) { return "E-mail address"; } ?> ---- Server IP: 117.104.160.194 Probable Submitter: 203.206.176.162 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-match.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/86525 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86525/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86525/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86525/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86525/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86525/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86525/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86525 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/86525 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
