I used it off of http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=96280.0, maybe they should update that thread then. I started out with Preg-match but had problems with it. I'll try it again though.

The 2nd post in that thread gives examples of preg_match:

 

if (preg_match('/^[A-Z0-9._%-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4}$/i', $input_email)) {
    echo 'Email entered is valid';
} else {    
    echo 'Email entered is not valid';
}

Couldn't edit my above post so I'll just do it here.

 

This is what I used to read about regular expressions and it helped me with forming matches for my registration script.

I hope this helps you out, if your having issues after this just post it up.
