How to validate email 2

[Sina]

Does any one have a piece of code that would properly validate email addresses?

Thanks for the help in advance.

Here is a little snippet of code that you can use:

[tt]

<?php
function is_email_valid($email) {
if(eregi(&quot;^[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+@([a-zA-Z0-9._-]+\.)+([a-zA-Z]){2,3}$&quot;, $email)) return TRUE;
else return FALSE;
}
?>
[/tt]

And you use the function such as so:

[tt]
$email = &quot;me@zend.com&quot;;
if (is_email_valid($email)) print &quot;E-Mail OK&quot;;
else print &quot;E-Mail not valid&quot;;
[/tt]

Hope this helps.

heres a regular expression that will do the trick

function emailvalidator($emailaddress) {

$result = ereg(&quot;^[^@ ]+@ ]+\.[^@ \.]+$&quot;, $emailaddress, $trash);

if ($result) :

##email is good

else :

##email is bad

endif;

return $something;

}
