RE: [PHP-WIN] a function question

Try this i got this working without any problems prints everything out nice an neetly <?php $mail = "FOJOMO@yahoo.com"; $user = "patrick"; /* comment function to get on screen function usermail($user,$mail) { */ global $user;

        global $mail;

        $user = ucwords($user); // capitalizes the 'p' in patrick
        $mail = strtolower($mail); // converts all of FOJOMO into lower case

if (preg_match("/@/" , $mail)) { // searches for the '@' sign // Used preg_match not strstr /* Place array details here that will work i do not know of arrays yet so i can not help here */ echo "Valid email address and username details here<p>\n" . $user . "\n<p>\n" . $mail . "<p>\n"; } else { print "Please enter a valid e-mail address"; //default if test fails to //find the '@' sign } // Function close //} ?> Dean "The Insane Guy" Hayes <-- I design and i redesign but still i never designed true beauty like you --> ~~~ Call me Insane call me Crazy but there is one thing i know i am That is someone that shall reach peoples hearts with words ~~~ ~~ PHP seems easy enough but what about this ASP now that looks hard ~~ From: Patrick Roane <fojomo@sbcglobal.net> To: php-windows@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP-WIN] a function question Date: Wed, 29 Dec 2004 21:06:43 -0800 (PST) I am trying to create a function that works with two arguments. the 1st needs to be a suername. The 2nd needs to be an email address. Next, I have to use case conversion functions to capitalize the first letter of the username and convert the email add. to lowercase characters and finaly check that it contains the @ sign. If I can't find the @ character, return false: otherwise, I return an array containing the converted arguments. Here is my code (which I can't get to work): <?php

        $mail = "FOJOMO@yahoo.com";

$user = "patrick"; function usermail( $user, $mail ) { global $user;

        global $mail;

        $user; = ucwords( $user ); // capitalizes the
    //'p' in patrick
        $mail; = strtolower( $mail ); // converts all

//of FOJOMO into lower case if ( strstr( $mail ), "@" )) {

    // searches for the '@' sign

user_array = explode("-", $user, $mail); // this //function (explode) creates the array } else { print "Please enter a valid e-mail address"; // default if test fails to //find the '@' sign } ?> ===== ---------------- "forget your lust for the rich man's gold.
