Checking for proper formated email (form using PHP)

[George W. Bush]

if(!eregi("^([._a-z0-9-]+[._a-z0-9-]*)@(([a-z0-9-]+\.)*([a-z0-9-]+)(\.[a-z]{2,3})?)$", $Email))

the above code will check for a properly formated email address in an email field (from a form)

I am not too sure what will I have to do to allow only email with the hotmail.com extension

perhaps?

if(!eregi("^([._a-z0-9-]+[._a-z0-9-]*)@(hotmail.com)$", $Email))

I am not too sure...

Hey GWB,

That LOOKS like it should work... Sorry, I'm still new to PHP here!

Regards,

Well, I think so... I will try it when I get some free time, and will let you know. Write it down or something just in case you want to use something like this in the future...
