[SOLVED] Regex Help~

[xenophobia]

Alright, I want a searching regex statement to achieve this:

 

I want to search for an email address that is under the specified domain. Eg:

I want all the user under this domain: yahoo.

So:

[email protected] will return true.

[email protected] will return true.

[email protected] will return true.

... so on....

while

[email protected] will return false.

[email protected] will return false.

[email protected] will return false.

Alright, the regex work fine.

 

Now i got a small request. How if i want to match more than just yahoo? Example like i want hotmail to be return true also. meaning:

[email protected] -> return true

[email protected] -> return true also

 

maybe i will have more than one email domain. How can I do that?

Alright. After figuring, I got this:

 

/^\S+@(?:yahoo|hotmail)\.\S*$/Uis

 

whereby if user enter any domain with yahoo or hotmail, it will return true. Now what I want is, I want to negate it! Meaning, if user using yahoo or hotmail, i want it to return false. How to do it!?

 

Please help!!!

 

Thank in advanced.

/^\S+@(?!yahoo|hotmail)\S+\.\S+$/i

That work fine if user entered: [email protected] or [email protected]

 

But if user enetered: [email protected], it return false too! Meaning, it match! Suppose it is not.

 

Is it putting something like \b in between the `group`? But I tried, failed...

 

Please guide! Thanks a lot effigy~

Try this; it reinforces the domain by looking for a following period:

 

/^\S+@(?!(?:yahoo|hotmail)\.)\S+\.\S+$/i
