note 39509 added to function.ereg

Another correction to the email pattern. Lot's of email addresses contain '+' chars. Listmanagers and whitelist spam blockers depend on this. The TLD (after the last period) is all letters, no numbers. No need to use a case insentive match then to match [a-zA-Z] when [a-z] will do. Underscore is not legal in domain names (RFC 1035) but still is commonly used, so I allow it. ANY char is legal in the username except [SPACE], =, or control chars (RFC 2821). Never seen < or > work though. So here is what I use, YMMV: eregi("^[!-;a-~]+@([0-9a-z][\w\-]+\.)+[a-z]{2,6}$", $email) ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ereg.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+39509 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+39509&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+39509&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
