Validating an e-mail address

[Scrowler]

would this work for something like email@address.co.nz?

I have this validation code in place on my contact form. I just tried it with your hypothetical email address, and it passed the validation.

What about

me@downtown.museum

remember that museum is a valid top level domain.

How about

me@[124.56.137.21]

Using the ip address in place of the domain name is also valid.

Neither one of those email addresses passes validation using the regular expression we've been discussing in this thread. I just tried it with the contact form on my website, which has that code in it.

i dont write php but couldnt half of these regular expressions be cut down using \w (or \W, i forget which) instead of a-zA-Z0-9_
