Checking email format

function preg_match

[rokec]

I want email format like this *@*.*; It must include also *.*@*.* or similar emails.

Glad if anyone can help.

Do a Google search for a regular expressions pattern to match an email address, there are loads out there.

I ment php detecting script preg_match(). Can anyone write me a code?

[smatts9]

if(!preg_match('#^[a-z0-9.!\#$%&\'*+-/=?^_`{¦}~]+@([0-9.]+¦([^\s]+\.+[a-z]{2,4}))$#si', $email)) {
echo "bad email";
} else {
echo "good email";
}

I think that works ;) replace those borken vertical bars with solid vertical bars.
