PHP question

Is there a way to check if an e-mail address is valid or not? like, if a certin string is a valad e-mail?

The page for PHP's preg_match (http://be.php.net/preg_match) command has some examples of doing this (see the user comments at the bottom).

Just a side note, you can validate an email address through flash as well, using indexOf().

Just a side note, you should validate the email address in both languages to prevent any sort of 'unexpected' behaviors...

there are also "services" that actually validate the email as well, so that Ted12345678909876@hotmail.com would not pass.

Thanks, but I decided to make it so they can't login, unless they validate their account! And they can't do that, unless they get the e-mail! And, of corse, the only way to get that, is to put an e-mail address that you actually have =]
