Email Address Format FunctionEmail Address Format Function

Left QuoteI'm not even going to try and explain this regular expression ... what matters is that it works!

PHP



function invalidEmail($str) {

   if (preg_match("/^\w+([\.-]?\w+)*@\w+([\.-]?\w+)*(\.\w{2,3})+$/", $str)) return false;

   else return true;

}


JavaScript



function invalidEmail(str) {

   if (str.match(/^\w+([\.-]?\w+)*@\w+([\.-]?\w+)*(\.\w{2,3})+$/))

   return false;

   else return true;

}


These functions return true if the input is invalid, as they are error-checking functions. The code can then be written if (invalidEmail(str)) which is nice and easy to read.Right Quote
