Understand one thing about my coding, im all about security, it bothers me to have an insecure script. But I am also concerned about simplicity, I never use complicated code where simpler code will do. The simplest way is to use an email validation command, that way you see if its a valid email and it wont let an attack in.

PHP Code:


			
function  checkEmail($email) {
 if (!preg_match("/^( [a-zA-Z0-9] )+( [a-zA-Z0-9\._-] )*@( [a-zA-Z0-9_-] )+( [a-zA-Z0-9\._-] +)+$/" , $email)) {
  return false;
 }
 return true;
}
