PHP Email Form Validation

[reth]

Hi Everyone,

 

I was hoping that someone can help me out.  I made a form and want it to only make emails work in it (have to type [email protected].)  I am having issues with how to make it work.  The code I have so far looks like this:

 

<div id="unsubscribe">

   

    <form id="form" name="form" class="rt" method="post" action="">

        <input type="hidden" name="source" value="flash games" />

        <fieldset>

            <label for="email1">

                <span>Please enter your email address:</span>

                <input type="text" name="email1" id="email1" />

            </label>

            <button class="submitBtn" name="button" id="button" type="submit"><span>Unsubscribe</span></button>

        </fieldset>

    </form>

 

</div>

 

Please let me know if any of you know the solution.

 

Thanks,

Reth

Validating e-mail addresses in PHP is a very sensitive area because there are so many incorrect ways of doing it. Here is a really good article explaining how to validate e-mails the right way.
