TalkPHP - View Single Post - How would I use Email and password validation?

You don't need the $email ==. All you need is the eregi() function, as if that pattern matches the string in the second argument, then it will return true, giving you a successful match, therefore a valid email.

Also I would suggest using something like the following, rather than what are you using:

PHP Code:


			
if (!eregi("/pattern/", $email) {
      // Tell user they had an invalid email
}
