Hi there, there have been many posts on this subject asking for help so I have added this page with a link to a tutorial on my blog. I am constantly posting this link to help people maybe this post could be made 'sticky' to help others?

The link is http://www.cwebltd.co.uk/2007/06/05/...tact-form.html

hope this helps somebody.

Cheers

Right click on the link and save the destinationfile..

Tried that. It won't save. I've inspected the code and the url. The link points to http://www.cwebltd.co.uk/emailvalidator.php, an empty file. Clicking on the link again produces an empty file.

What have I missed? Or will some kind soul post the contents?

Cheers

sorry for the delay been on holidays, the contents of the file are

Code: Select all

<?php
     function check_email_address($email) {
  if (!ereg("^[^@]{1,64}@[^@]{1,255}$", $email)) {
    return false;
  }
  $email_array = explode("@", $email);
  $local_array = explode(".", $email_array[0]);
  for ($i = 0; $i < sizeof($local_array); $i++) {
     if (!ereg("^(([A-Za-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-][A-Za-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~\.-]{0,63})|(\"[^(\\|\")]{0,62}\"))$", $local_array[$i])) {
      return false;
    }
  }  
  if (!ereg("^\[?[0-9\.]+\]?$", $email_array[1])) {     $domain_array = explode(".", $email_array[1]);
    if (sizeof($domain_array) < 2) {
        return false; 
    }
    for ($i = 0; $i < sizeof($domain_array); $i++) {
      if (!ereg("^(([A-Za-z0-9][A-Za-z0-9-]{0,61}[A-Za-z0-9])|([A-Za-z0-9]+))$", $domain_array[$i])) {
        return false;
      }
    }
  }
  return true;
}

also have uploaded the correct file now for download

oops

I can copy and paste as required, but in FF your download link doesn't work still. Under IE6, right click and save produces an empty .htm file. Clicking the link directly pulls up the .php with the only content visible as the html header.
