Hello all:
I have created a database which is working fine and i am now validating the inputted data.   I am stuck on validating the email address.  I am using the  validating statement below, and it is not working.  when i enter the email incorrectly, it is still entered into the database, and the errror msg is not printed.  can anyone see the error of my ways.  thanks
if(eregi("^[_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-z]{2,3})$", $_POST['email'])) {  echo "Valid email address.";  }else {  echo "Invalid email address.";}
