  hi, please help.
  this seems to be working at first but later on, it sometimes selects email..which means that sometimes it accepts, sometimes not...
  
  if(!preg_match("/\w+([-+.]\w+)*@\w+([-.]\w+)*\.\w+([-.]\w+)*/",$email){
      echo "Invalid email";
  }
  
  any suggestions? comments? thanks...

  hi,

   you want to check whether the email id is valid or not, right.

  if(eregi("^[a-zA-Z0-9_]+@[a-zA-Z0-9\-]+\.[a-zA-Z0-9\-\.]+$]", $email))
     {
        echo "Invalid email id";
  
  

     }

  try this piece of code..

  Regards

  sarvesh

  Hi, check this
  
  if(!ereg("[0-9a-z]([-_.]?[0-9a-z])*@[0-9a-z]([-.]?[0-9a-z])*\\.[a-z]", $email)){
        return FALSE;
     }
     else {
        return TRUE;
     }
