Email format validation

[TimUSA]

I am having a problem. this code is excepting [email protected], but not [email protected]?? I am not very good with this so some help would be appreciated!

 

	if (preg_match("/^([a-zA-Z0-9])+([\.a-zA-Z0-9_-])*@([a-zA-Z0-9_-
])+(\.[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)*\.([a-zA-Z]{2,6})$/", $_POST['email'])) {
    die("Invalid e-mail address");
}

Matches fine for me... But i think you want to check if it doesn't match, using !preg_match

I use this pattern for email matching.

 

/^\w+([-+.]\w+)*@\w+([-.]\w+)*\.\w+([-.]\w+)*(([,]|[,])\s*\w+([-+.]\w+)*@\w+([-.]\w+)*\.\w+([-.]\w+)*)*$/

 

Don't ask.
