EREG()

[tobyheywood]

Hello,

The follow snippet of code is (was) used to check for carriage returns (\r) and newlines (\n) in an email address entered by a user.

For some reason this now always evaluates $efrom as containing a \r or \n. I see no reason why the form data would contain these and am hoping someone can shed some light on this.

<- CODE WHICH STORES FORM VARIABLES ->

$visitor['Name'] = addslashes($_POST['Name']);
$visitor['Email'] = addslashes($_POST['Email']);
$visitor['Tel'] = addslashes($_POST['Telephone']);

<- CODE TO CHECK EMAIL ADDRESS ->

$efrom = stripslashes($visitor['Email']);
if (ereg("\\r",$efrom) || ereg("\\n",$efrom) ) {
	$messageok = '0';
	// This is always returned
} else {
	$messageok = '1';
}

Removal of the above email checking code, results in the email being sent successfully.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards
