note 53377 deleted from function.ereg by nlopess

Note Submitter: php at easy2sync dot com ---- When working with variables from web forms you should never assume that their content is what it's supposed to be.Especially if these strings get into a database command string. Ereg makes it easy to check it: Checking for a legal e-mail: function IsEMail ($string) { if (ereg("^[A-Za-z0-9_\.\-]+@[A-Za-z0-9_\.\-]"+ "+\.[A-Za-z0-9_\-][A-Za-z0-9_\-]+$", $string, $result)) return (true); return (false); } Making the string safe to process as e-mail. Removes spaces, newlines, quotation marks, etc.: function MakeSafe ($string) { $string = preg_replace("/[^a-zA-Z0-9\-\.\@\_]/", "", $string); return ($string); } Thomas -------------------------------------------- http://www.easy2sync.com/en/produkte/e2s4o.php
