<?php

$email = "blah@blah.com";

if (ereg("^[_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)+$", $email)){
   
   echo "Valid!";

} else {

   echo "Not Valid!";
}

?>

You should change the ereg function to eregi, otherwise someone can enter in an email address such as "JoeSmith@blah.com" and have it be invalid.
