email verification using regex

[spyrral]

I'm using the regex statement I found in the code library, which goes like this:

ereg("^{([0-9,a-z,A-Z]+)(.,)@(.,,-)}
.{2}([0-9,a-z,A-Z])?$",$mail)

I want to allow addresses with the '+' character in them, such as [e-mail]. I tried adding a + to the second character class in the expression, so that it read:

ereg("^{([0-9,a-z,A-Z]+)(+.,)@(.,,-)}
.{2}([0-9,a-z,A-Z])?$",$mail)

but it didn't work. Advice anyone?

you need a comma, between the + and .:

ereg("^{([0-9,a-z,A-Z]+)(+,.,)@(.,,-)}
.{2}([0-9,a-z,A-Z])?$",$mail)
