Don't forget about the new .name, and I thought I might mention that preg()/PCREs would be the way to go if you're trying to make your code readable.
Matt -----Original Message----- From: Ross Fleming [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] For completeness, I thought I'd give the original poster the credit (just found it): Marko Mihalec <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> This was posted to the same group ages ago: if(ereg( "^[^@ ]+@([a-zA-Z0-9\-]+\.)+([a-zA-Z0-9\-]{2}|net|com|gov|mil|org|edu|int)$" ,$email)) { //email address is valid } else { // it ain't } Or something like that. I'd personally use a couple of explodes though Ross -----Original Message----- From: Matt Hillebrand [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 10 April 2002 00:34 To: 'Egil Helland'; 'brother' Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [PHP-WIN] checking for characters I like Egil's idea of readable code using explode and regular expressions. Or, you could use this function I wrote: function isValidEmail($email) { if(strlen($email) < 6) return false; $at = -1; // index of '@' for($i=0; $i<strlen($email); $i++) { if($email[$i] == '@') $at = $i; } if($at < 1) return false; for($i=$at; $i<strlen($email); $i++) { if($email[$i] == '.') break; } if($i>$at && $i<strlen($email)) return true; else return false; } Matt -----Original Message----- From: Egil Helland [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Brush up on your patternmatching then, brother. Check the php.net manual on regexp. If you want more readable code, try splitting the string (explode) on @ first, then split the segment after @ that you now have on . again.
