[Resolved] regex stuff

[Methonis]

Alright, simple problem. (I think)
On my register page, I simply want to disallow any email from hotmail.com to register. So in my register2 function, I put this:

$result = preg_match('/hotmail.com$/i', $member['email']);
if($result) {
fatal_error(Baaad email);
}

This breaks the page when you submit though. (white screen)

Anyone set me straight?

Thanks,

Methonis

The altered version of your snippet below, works fine. So, it's probably just your call to fatal_error that's the problem (Is Baaad email supposed to be a string).

$me = "[e-mail]";
$result = preg_match('/hotmail.com$/i', $me); 
if($result) { 
    echo "Baaad email"; 
}

Oi! Actually, yes, the text is supposed to be a string and did have quotes around it in my example. The actual problem was that I was trying to have it check $member['email'] before I had called all the $HTTP_POST_VARS. :🙂 Thanks for your help.
