[SOLVED] preg_match to block email address(es)

[zc1]

Hi,

I have found the below code I change it to *.EXT instead of the ending of the email address for example *.com

Now if someone had abc.EXT@my-domain.co.uk would the below code echo the message or would it let it pass and only block abc@my-domain.ext ?

Also does anyone know if it is case sensitive ?

Finally how would I have to to check for .EXT and .EXT1 etc..., would I need to repeat the code or can I have it all within the same code, if so how ?

// test block of *.EXT emails
if ( preg_match( "#\.EXT$#", $email ) ) {
echo 'The email address you entered is not allowed.';
exit;
}

I would say it should echo on either, but can't you just test it with some demo strings?

Actually, all the answers to your questions about how it does work can be found by testing it yourself.

The only email address of the ones you proposed that it catches is - abc@my-domain.EXT - which I found by actual testing.
