I'm trying to get this line to validate an email address from a form and it isn't working. if (ereg("^.+@.+\..+$",$submittedEmail)) The book I'm referencing has this line if (ereg("^.+@.+\\..+$",$submittedEmail)) Anyway.. I welcome any advice as long as it doesn't morph into a political debate on ADA standards and poverty in Africa. :-) Thanks Don -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
