Thank Guys,
I at least got part of it working , not the double words but almost
everything else than that:
function _email_validate($mail_address){
$invalid_charset_pattern = "[(*+?)|~<>:;{}/ ]";
if(ereg($invalid_charset_pattern, $mail_address)){
return false;
}else{
return true;
}
}
Thanks for the inputs
