Hi.

 

A quick one:

 

How do I write this in PHP?

 

if (this variable don't contain "@")

echo "This is not a valid email address";

[Drummin]

if (!preg_match('/[@]/', $email)){
echo "This is not a valid email address";
}

You can also use a built in fuction

if(filter_var($email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)){
echo "Email is good";
}else{
echo "This is not a valid email address";
}

[JonnoTheDev]

if (!preg_match('/[@]/', $email)){ }

 

Poor test for an email address. Is ne@il an email address? No. The second example provided by Drummin is much better.
