>> all email addresses

Known is handfull, Unknown is worldfull

I'll give you an example. Let's say the string was

"my email address is kid@rock.com and his email address is you@fool.com."

What I want it to do is do something like this:

preg_match_all("SOMEPATTERN", $string, $return);

and then $return will be some array, that has something like

kid@rock.com
you@fool.com

you see?


Peace out,
Peace Co.

First, read a tutorial on regular expressions. Then try something like:

\b[A-Z0-9._%-]+@[A-Z0-9._%-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4}\b

which, interestingly enough, I found in the first screen of the first hit return by a google search for 'regular expression tutorial'

try:
\b\w+@(\w+\.)+[\w]+\b

Known is handfull, Unknown is worldfull
