"ereg" problem in Contact Form

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Dec 12.2005

i added this contact form to my site [URL=http://latinsoldiers.com/socom3/contact.html] PREVIEW[/URL] where it says “Your Topic” it used to be ur “phone number” but everytime someone wants to send an email it gives them an erros saying that the phone info is invalid, since it was originally for phone number i think it doesnt accept letters only numbers. anyways this is the code for that part of the section i think.

[code=php]// check phone for validity
if (($PHONE_NO) || ($phone_no)) {
$phone_no = trim($phone_no);
if ($PHONE_NO)
$phone_no = trim($PHONE_NO);
if (!ereg(“(^[a-z]$)”, $phone_no)) {
print_error(“your <b>phone number</b> is invalid”);[/code]

i tried to fix it but couldnt, i put

[code=php](“(^[a-z]$)”, [/code]

but now it only lets me type lower case “a” in that section

@purefanDec 12.2005 — I found this:
[code=php]
<?php
$email="[email protected]";

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

echo "The e-mail was not valid";

} else {

echo "The e-mail was valid";

}

?> [/code]

which is a tutorial on email validation

hope it helps

@DYABLOauthorDec 12.2005 — right next to the "eregi" what can i change so people can type anything in there and not necessary an email, i think something about erasing the "@" not sure tho.

thanks for the help.

[code=php]if(!eregi("^[_a-z0-9-]+(.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(.[a-z0-9- [/code]

@SpectreReturnsDec 12.2005 — If it doesn't need to be an email why do you need to validate it? ?
