i needed a function or class to check on my user's email to verify that the emails address they were providing was correct. so here is a useful email verification function.
this function just checks that the format of the email is correct:
function check_email($email) {
$validation = TRUE;
if(!eregi("^[_a-z0-9-]+(.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(.[a-z0-9-]+)*(.[a-z]{2,4})$", $email)) {
$validation = FALSE;
}
return $validation;
}
hope this helps
USAGE:
if(!check_email($mail)) {
$error .= "EMAIL - The Email You Provided Is not Valid";
}
