note 42712 added to function.ereg

Most of the regular expressions to validate email addresses posted here are incorrect. I suggest you check RFC 2822. Consider the following as much better: /^[-^!#$%&'*+\/=?`{|}~.\w]+@[-a-zA-Z0-9]+(\.[-a-zA-Z0-9]+)+$/ cheers, Zach ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ereg.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+42712 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+42712&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+42712&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
