[SOLVED] please help me with the email validation

[littlepeg]

hi everybody, would you please have a look at these code and help me to solve this problem. Any help would be grately and appreciated. When I tried to validate the email for the registration form. There is an error message as follows:

  Warning: eregi() [function.eregi]: REG_ERANGE in C:\wamp\www\snyp\registration.php on line 64

 

The codes are below:

 

if (!empty($_POST['email'])) {

if (!eregi("^[_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-

            ]+)*(\.[a-z]{2,3})$", $psd)){

$errors[] = 'Sorry, the email is not valid';

}

else {

$psd = $_POST['email'];

}

    } else {

$errors[] = 'You forgot to enter your email.';

}

Try this:

 

if (!eregi("^[[:alnum:]][a-z0-9_.-]*@[a-z0-9.-]+\.[a-z]{2,4}$", stripslashes(trim($_POST['email'])))) {
