eregi(): REG_BADBR

[robertaccettura]

I get the following error:

Warning: eregi(): REG_BADBR in /path/to/class_email.php on line 21
Fail

The code is

	if (!eregi("^([a-z0-9]+)([._-]([a-z0-9]+))*[@]([a-z0-9]+)([._-]([a-z0-9]+))*[.]([a-z0-9]){1|}([a-z0-9])?$", $email)) {
		return array("1", "Invalid Contact Email Address: $email");
	}

What does this error mean? I can't find info on it.

And why does the same eregi() work elsewhere?

I think this will work... try it

if(!eregi("^([a-z0-9]+)([._-]([a-z0-9]+))*[@]([a-z0-9]+)([._-]([a-z0-9]+))*[.]([a-z0-9]){1,}([a-z0-9])?$", $email)) {
		return array("1", "Invalid Contact Email Address: $email");
	}

see that the error was the repetition you put. {1|} is bad; {1,} or + is good 😉
