 Hello Guys,

 Does any have a regex for email validation? I need to allow only
 period and underscore in the local part , we would need a @ and .com
 or watever for domain.

Option 1:   /^[_.]+@[a-z0-9-]+\.com$/

This is probably what you meant:

/^[a-z0-9_.]+@[a-z0-9-]+\.com$/

/Per Jessen, Zürich

Which is probably what you meant:

eregi("^[A-Z0-9._%-]+@[A-Z0-9._%-]+\.[A-Z]{2,6}$", $email)

Email comes in different TLD flavors.

But, even that still doesn't cover all the possible and legal Unicode code-points that can exist on both sides of the @ of an email address.

For example:

tedd@?.com

is a legal and working email address.

Cheers,

tedd
