Identify the invalid email addresses

[brroopa]

Problem is that, to identify the invalid email addresses (i have an email table in db with the coloumns email addresses and status). If the user enters invalid email address, that particular account has to be flaged(status=0). How to do this in php?

Help is appreciated

one minute sciptig and you get simple mail validator =)
this basics, regexp can be dificult =)

Code: Select all

<?
$mail = $HTTP_POST_VARS["mail"];
if (!eregi("[a-z]+@[a-z]+\.[a-z]{2,3}", $mail)) {
onError("mail");
exit;
}
?>
