Hi!!!, I need help please -adding confirmation of email '@' symbol to php script

[leet8845]

Hi,

 

I need some code to validate an email address sent on my form.

 

Does anyone know if its possible to add anything to exsiting code below to do this.

 

I'm mainly bothered that the email has a '@' symbol, nothing more complex really.

 

Here's my code which works fine at the mo:

 

<?php

 

// Getformdataandcreateemail

$Email2="[email protected]";

$email=$_POST['Email'];

$name=stripslashes($_POST['Name']);

$subject=stripslashes($_POST['Subject']);

$messagecont=stripslashes($_POST['Message']);

$message=

<<<EOD

--------------------------------

Enquiry from your website

--------------------------------

 

Name: $name

Subject: $subject

EmailAddress: $email

Message: $messagecont

 

--------------------------------

End of Message

--------------------------------

EOD;

 

//Sendemail

@mail($Email2,$subject,$message, "From:$Email2");

header("Location:thankyou.html");

 

 

?>

 

 

Many thanks for looking

@ siply means to hide an error which is wrong you do you have to hide the error when you can heal them again for those who use the @  :P :P :P

strpos() is your friend.

 

although there are far better methods of validation such as http://www.zend.com/zend/spotlight/ev12apr.php

if you need some email validation i guess you have to go to regex portion of this forum no need to ask because i have seen allot of post there
