There are a 1000 different regular expressions for email addresses out there and each of them have flaws to some extent. If your application is so important that it requires a valid email address, you should send them something to confirm it. Otherwise, just take whatever crap they give... if they don't want emails, so be it. ---John Holmes... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
