Preg_match problem

[TomH]

I am getting an error with preg_match, the error is:

 

Warning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: Compilation failed: unmatched parentheses at offset 123 in /newsletter.php on line 16

 

Line 16 - if(preg_match('/\A(?:[a-zA-Z0-9]!#$%&\'*+\/=?^_`{|}~-])+(?:\.[a-zA-Z0-9]!#$%&\'*+\/=?^_`{|}~-]+)*@(?:[a-zA-Z0-9](?:[a-zA-Z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?\.))+(?:[a-zA-Z]{2}|com|org|net\b)\Z/i',$email)) return true;

 

Any ideas?

You have an extra parentheses in your regex. I can see it right away.

For an expression of this magnitude, I recommend using the /x modifier and spreading the pattern across multiple lines.

Yeash...I havent looked at it in detail but as far as the extra parantheses goes...highlighted it for you...

 

if(preg_match('/\A(?:[a-zA-Z0-9]!#$%&\'*+\/=?^_`{|}~-])+(?:\.[a-zA-Z0-9]!#$%&\'*+\/=?^_`{|}~-]+)*@(?:[a-zA-Z0-9](?:[a-zA-Z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?\.))+(?:[a-zA-Z]{2}|com|org|net\b)\Z/i',$email))
