Pattern Syntax

[alfieshooter]

I want to be able to replace any email within a string.

How do I pattern match for it?

EG

Blach Blah Blah [e-mail] blah blah blah

How do I match that email pattern when I don't know what the name or anything will be?

Thanks

<?
$string = "blah [e-mail] blah";

$before = substr($string,0,strpos($string,"@"));
$after = strstr($string,"@");

$name = strrchr($before," ");
$domain = substr($after,0,strpos($after," "));

echo "$name$domain";
?>

tested.

Well, no - neither am I :-). It's been done plenty of times already and takes half a page...
