making sure its an email

[imnsi]

i just want to check that a str has @ and then . in the string..

whats the easiest way to check? and also, im mind blanking, whats the code to put a new row into a db (just a new record)

and yes im new, 🙂

[imnsi]

oh INSERT.. yeah

Well does it automaticly goto the new row and add it to the end or is there more I have to do?

dbname> INSERT INTO contacts ("$val1","$val2"...)

is that all i need?

Ok try using maybe, strstr()

$email = "[e-mail]";

if(strstr($email, "@")) {
echo "An @ sign was found.<br>";
} else {
echo "No @ sign was found.<br>";
}

Try that... I dunno if it works, its untested, should work fine though.
