note 37028 added to function.ereg

For people who have a good deal of .something.something.something.co.uk, for example, at the end of the email addresses they wish to validate. Here is a pattern that accepts upper and lower case alpha, and numeric, "-", "_", ".", followed by a "@", and the same rules as previously stated (only it doesn't accept ".", that's how it finds the end of the root domain) followed by a "." then any number of "." + string. As long as there is ".??" (IE ".bz" or ".uk") ^[_\.0-9a-zA-Z\-]+@([a-z0-9A-Z_\-])+\.([a-z0-9\.]){2,}$ valid: Foo_Bar.vice-pres@foo_net-net.com.co.uk *This may be less than perfect, please do not grill me for it ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ereg.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+37028 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+37028&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+37028&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
