preg_match php help!

[drmota]

Hey guys,

 

In my contact form i have the action: preg_match but i've come accross a problem.

 

Problem: Warning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: No ending delimiter '^' found in C:\Program Files (x86)\wamp\www\ts\contact.php on line 34

 

Code:

$error_message = "";
$email_exp = "^[A-Z0-9._%-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4}$";
  if(!preg_match($email_exp,$email_from)) {
  	$error_message .= 'The Email Address you entered does not appear to be valid.<br />';

 

 

Thanks in advance

I think you need to have it like this

$email_exp = "/^[A-Z0-9._%-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4}$";

Ok that took away the ^ problem.

 

But then it shows this error message:

 

Warning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: No ending delimiter '/' found in C:\Program Files (x86)\wamp\www\ts\contact.php on line 34

 

what now?

 

Thanks

$email_exp = "/^[A-Z0-9._%-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4}$/";
