More Geek Speak
Just as a way of remembering - for me - here is the way to do a nice regex e-mail check in PHP:
// validate name
if (eregi("^([a-zA-Z0-9])+([.a-zA-Z0-9_-])+
@([a-zA-Z0-9_-])+\.([a-zA-Z]{2,4})$",
$email)) {
$message = "valid e-mail";
}
else {
$message = "INVALID e-mail";
}
This is slightly different from the Perl version I've posted earlier; mainly, have to drop the backslash before the allowable dot (.) in the e-mail prefix (before the @ sign). And - duh! - it's written in PHP lingo, not Perl. Concept pretty much exactly the same, however.
