cannot get email to validate correctly

[SuicidalDriver]

When using the below code, even with a valid email address (gmail) it returns invalid email, even my work address does not validate. What am I doing wrong?

 

if(!filter_var($Email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) {
$error_message .= 'The Email Address you entered does not appear to be valid.<br />';
}

$Email is probably not what you think it is.  echo $Email;

I just checked an I was using the wrong vaiable, I have fixed that but still wont validate correctly

if(!filter_var($$Email_from, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) {
	$error_message .= 'The Email Address you entered does not appear to be valid.<br />';
}

Seriously though? Trolling or something?

 

You have $$Email_from, should be $Email_from.
