Validate Email
Email validation can be done in many ways. The most popular one is using regular expression which i'm writing here below.

<?php
/* ** Script: To validate email ** */
/* ** Function: validate_email
** Input: email address
** Output : boolean
** Description: match the email with regular expression... */
/* ** Script: To validate email ** */
/* ** Function: validate_email
** Input: email address
** Output : boolean
** Description: match the email with regular expression... */
function validate_email($email)
{
if(eregi("^[a-z0-9._-]+@+[a-z0-9._-]+.+[a-z]{2,3}$", $email))
return TRUE;
else return FALSE;
}
Description: Lets take an example, txtEmail is your textbox name which post the email address.
you receive your value using lets say: $email = $_POST["txtEmail"];
So if you are using inside a class ... you can use.. if($this->validate_email($this->email)) { // do something }
