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

You've already got your solution, but I thought I'd mention the nice filter_* methods that you can use to achieve email validation, everyone always seems to overlook it:

PHP Code:


			
if (!filter_var('karl@talkphp.com', FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL))
{
    echo "Email is invalid!";
}

That's all there is to it, you can even santize your data with the same function.
